Inhaltsangabe

Gitanjali or the 'Song Offerings' translated to English by 'Great Sentinel' himself, is a collection of his favourite poems. The poems mirror the poet's intimate response to the spleandour of nature-the parched sumer earth, the flowers, the rivers and the first monsoon shower, are images which touch a transcendental depth in these poems.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Rabindranath Tagore (Bengali, Ravindranatha Thakura)(1861-1941), Indian poet, philosopher, and Nobel laureate (1913) was the youngest (twelfth) of Debendranath Tagore, a leader of the Brahmo Samaj, and Sarada Devi. With his father away most of the time, support and lessons came from his older siblings. He began to write poetry as a child; his first book appeared when he was seventeen. After a brief stay in England (1878) to study law, he returned to India. Most of his learning was self-taught. He rapidly became the most important and popular author of the colonial era, writing poetry, short stories, essays, novels, and plays.
