About This Book

Eine als Krieger erzogene Prinzessin, an männlichen Tugenden geschult, begegnet einem berühmten, zur Enthaltsamkeit verpflichteten Kämpfer und erlebt erstmals erotische Regung. Verunsichert über ihre weibliche Identität, ringt sie mit Scham, Stolz und dem Wunsch, Liebe zu erwidern, bricht Waffen und bittet die Gottheiten um Beistand. Göttergestalten beraten und vermitteln Verwandlung und Erkenntnis. Die Handlung erkundet Geschlechterrollen, Selbstbild, Opfer und die Spannungen zwischen gesellschaftlicher Pflicht und persönlicher Sehnsucht, während die Protagonistin versucht, Wege zu finden, Liebe ohne Verleugnung ihrer eigenen Natur zu leben.

About the Author

Tagore, Rabindranath portrait

Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a Bengali poet, playwright, and philosopher, widely regarded as one of the most significant figures in Indian literature. He was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, recognized for his profound and lyrical poetry, particularly in his acclaimed work "Gitanjali." Tagore's literary contributions span various genres, including poetry, short stories, and essays, reflecting his deep engagement with themes of spirituality, nationalism, and humanism. His plays, such as "Chitra," showcase his innovative approach to drama, while his essays, like "Nationalism," explore the complexities of identity and culture. Tagore's legacy continues to influence writers and thinkers around the world.
