An illuminating collection of inspirational poems by a Nobel Laureate

While traveling through one of the poorest regions in India, W. B. Yeats was amazed to discover the women in the tea fields singing the songs and poems of Rabindranath Tagore. This striking scene led the great Irish poet to appreciate the depth of India's far-reaching tradition of poetry and the fame of this one Indian poet. Tagore's work is without equal and plays an eminent role in twentieth century Indian literature.
The publication of the English edition of Gitanjali in 1911 earned Rabindranath Tagore the Nobel Prize in literature. A collection of over one hundred inspirational poems, Gitanjali covers the breadth of life's experiences, from the quiet pleasure of observing children at play to a man's struggle with his god. These are poems that transcend time and place.

About Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was born in Calcutta into a prominent Bengali family and became, in 1913, the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, cited for the verse of Gitanjali (1910), which he had translated into English himself. His earlier collections include Manasi (1890) and Sonar Tari (1894). He wrote the novels Gora (1910) and Ghare-Baire (1916), the play Chitrangada (1892), and some two thousand songs. Knighted in 1915, he repudiated the honor in 1919 in protest against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. In 1921 he founded Visva-Bharati University at Santiniketan.
