Book description
In this volume we examine some of the works of Rabindranath Tagore. And with him we venture to the East. To meet the poet and story teller who speaks a common language of love and mysticism which continues to convey valuable insights into universal themes in contemporary society. Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) who was a gifted Bengali Renaissance man, distinguishing himself as a philosopher, social and political reformer and a popular author in all literary genres. He was instrumental in an increased freedom for the press and influenced Gandhi and the founders of modern India. He composed hundreds of songs which are still sung today as they include the Indian and Bangladeshβs national anthems. His prolific literary life has left a legacy of quality novels, essays and in this volume his shorter works. The Fugitive, one of his most famous works, helped earn him the distinction of being the first Asian writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. At the end of this work you will find a longer biography of Tagore, specially written for this volume. Many of the poems are also available as an audiobook from our sister company Portable Poetry. Many samples are at our youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/PortablePoetry?feature=mhee The full volume can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores. Among our readers are Shyama Perera and Ghizela Rowe
