Red Oleanders : A Drama in One Act

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Red Oleanders' is a powerful and evocative drama by the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Set in the fictional, oppressive mining town of Yakshapuri, the play serves as a profound allegory exploring the conflict between the human spirit and the crushing weight of institutionalized greed and industrialization. At the center of the story is Nandini, a vibrant woman whose presence challenges the cold, mechanical authority of the unseen King. Her love for the red oleander flower symbolizes beauty, passion, and the untamable essence of life amidst a world of exploitation.Tagore uses this one-act play to critique the dehumanizing effects of modern materialism and the pursuit of wealth at the expense of human dignity and nature. The narrative masterfully blends symbolism and social commentary, portraying the struggle of individuals seeking liberation from systemic tyranny. 'Red Oleanders' remains one of Tagore's most significant dramatic works, celebrated for its poetic language, philosophical depth, and timeless message regarding the triumph of the human soul over authoritarian control. This drama continues to resonate as a poignant reflection on freedom, justice, and the enduring power of beauty.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
