Sacrifice and Other Plays is a collection of plays written by Sir Rabindranath Tagore, a renowned Bengali writer and philosopher. The book features four plays: Sacrifice, The Post Office, Muktadhara, and Red Oleanders. The central theme of the plays is the human condition and the search for meaning in life. In Sacrifice, Tagore explores the conflict between tradition and modernity, as well as the tension between individual freedom and social responsibility. The Post Office is a poignant play about a young boy who is confined to his room due to illness and his desire to experience the world outside. Muktadhara deals with the struggle of a village community against the tyranny of a landlord. Red Oleanders is a play that explores the theme of freedom and the need to break free from societal norms and constraints.Tagore's plays are known for their lyrical language, powerful imagery, and deep philosophical insights. His works have been translated into many languages and have been widely acclaimed for their universal appeal. Sacrifice and Other Plays is a must-read for anyone interested in Bengali literature, philosophy, and theatre.1917. The scenes of these plays are laid in India with native characters. The underlying motive of each is the seeking of the real amid the unreal, whether love as it appeared to the awaked senses of the ascetic; or the vision of the soul, piercing the shams of the priest to the perception of Deity.
