5.0 out of 5 stars The Wreck (Rabindranath Tagore), March 24, 2003

This review is from: The Wreck (Paperback)

Tagore, the definitive master of poetic prose, demonstrates his sublime literary sensibilities yet again in this beautiful tale set in Bengal sometime in the late nineteenth / early twentieth centuries. Originally published in Bengali under the title of "Naukadubi" (which means boat-wreck), this novel tells the story of how the capsizing of a boat carrying a wedding party across the river Ganga in a storm changes the lives of the two main protagonists of the story for ever. Tagore's writing is superlative, especially in dealing with love, melancholy and exquisite descriptions of nature, and this novel brings forth those qualities vividly.

I read this book long back. But story stayed with me forever. A brilliant plot. Brilliant Style. Sheer excellence that's all I can say. Tagore's can express great beauty in real simplicity.
