Gitanjali: Song Offerings: A Collection of Prose Translations Made by the Author from the Original Bengali - Softcover

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.

Rabindranath Tagore (7th May 1861-7th August 1941), the writer and a Nobel laureate poet was the ambassador of Indian culture to the rest of the world. He is probably the most prominent figure in the cultural world of Indian subcontinent and the first Asian person to be awarded with the Nobel in 1913. Even though he is mainly known as a poet, his multifaceted talent showered upon different branches of art-novels, short stories, dramas, articles, essays, painting, etc. He was a social reformer, patriot and above all, a great humanitarian and philosopher.
