Description

About the Book

Unlike previous Tagore collections that focus on a single genre, Dutta and Robinson's anthology offers a full range of Tagore's talents--a play, poems, songs, a novel, selections from his memoirs, travel writings, and essays--in one graceful volume.

Book Synopsis

The first Asian writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, Rabindranath Tagore mesmerized the world with his spiritual insights and finely wrought writings. This comprehensive and engaging anthology gathers his polymathic achievement, from the extraordinary humanity of The Post Officer to memoirs, letters, essays and conversations, short stories, extracts from the celebrated novel The Home and the World, poems, songs, epigrams, and paintings. This inspired collection of works by one of this century's most profound writers in an essential guide for readers seeking to understand Indian literature, culture, and wisdom, and the perfect reintroduction of Tagore's magnificence to American readers.
