Synopsis "El rey del Salon Oscuro (in Spanish)"

El descubrimiento de la obra de RABINDRANAZ TAGORE (1861-1941) supuso para Occidente el deslumbrador encuentro con la rica tradición lírica india que, partiendo de los Upanisads, se prolonga hasta nuestros días. EL REY DEL SALÓN OSCURO revela la intensa espiritualidad del autor, expresada en un lenguaje rítmico y colorista e impregnada de un profundo sentido de la naturaleza. La fama del gran escritor va unida en nuestro idioma a los nombres de Zenobia Camprubí y Juan Ramón Jiménez, cuyas traducciones de la obra de Tagore suponen una prodigiosa labor de recreación literaria. Otras obras del autor en esta colección: «La luna nueva. El jardinero. Ofrenda lírica» (L 5572), «El cartero del rey. El asceta. El rey y la reina» (L 5658), «La cosecha. Regalo de amante. Tránsito. La fujitiva» (L 5674), «Ciclo de la Primavera» (L 5702), «Las piedras hambrientas» (L 5725), «Mashi. La hermana mayor» (L 5745) y «Malini. Sacrificio. Chitra» (L 5744).

Rabindranath Tagore (Calcutta, India, May 7, 1861 – Santiniketan, August 7, 1941) was a Bengali poet, philosopher, musician, novelist, playwright, and educator, considered one of the most influential literary figures of modern India and the world. Son of a cultured and prominent family, Tagore received an education rich in literature, art, and both Eastern and Western thought. He was the first non-European writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, for his work Gitanjali (“Song Offerings”), a collection of spiritual and philosophical poems.

Tagore wrote in Bengali and English, addressing themes such as love, spirituality, freedom, and cultural identity. His work spans over a thousand poems, novels, short stories, songs, and essays. He composed the lyrics for the national anthems of India (Jana Gana Mana) and Bangladesh (Amar Shonar Bangla), highlighting his cultural and political influence.

Additionally, he founded the Visva-Bharati school and university, with a humanist and universalist approach. Tagore traveled extensively, promoting intercultural dialogue and criticizing colonialism. His legacy combines art, pedagogy, and spirituality, and continues to inspire generations of readers and thinkers.
