Written by the most famous Bengali poet, philosopher, social reformer, and dramatist who came into international prominence when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1913. For the Bengali public, Tagore has been, and remains, an altogether exceptional literary figure, towering over all others. His poems, songs, novels, short stories, critical essays, and other writings have vastly enriched the cultural environment in which hundreds of millions of people live in the Bengali-speaking world, whether in Bangladesh or in India. - Amartya Sen, Harvard University and Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998 Formerly issued in a limited edition by the India Society in 1912.

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.
