<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>The King of the Dark Chamber</i> (1918) is a play by Rabindranath Tagore. Translated into English by Tagore after he received the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature, <i>The King of the Dark Chamber</i> is a symbolic drama exploring themes of faith, power, citizenship, and love. Part meditation on human government, part reflection on humanity's connection to god, Tagore's play is a masterpiece of Indian literature. "My faith is, to go on obeying the King-it does not matter whether he is a real one or a pretender. What do we know of Kings that we should judge them! It is like throwing stones in the dark-you are almost sure of hitting your mark. I go on obeying and acknowledging-if it is a real King, well and good: if not, what harm is there?" What is the nature of kingship? If a nation is prosperous, and its people happy, should they question their ruler? Such questions abound in The King of the Dark Chamber, a symbolic story of a King who rules through absence alone. While he is more widely known as a poet, Tagore was also a gifted playwright who used the stage to explore timeless, universal themes. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Rabindranath Tagore's <i>The King of the Dark Chamber</i> is a classic of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>A reclusive King reigns over a prosperous land from the confines of his unlit chamber. There are those who question his right to rule, others who see his absence as virtuous, and yet others who spend little time thinking of him at all. <i>The King of the Dark Chamber</i> is a powerful drama of faith and power by Rabindranath Tagore.</p>
