Meer over het boek

Renowned for reshaping Bengali literature and music, Rabindranath Tagore was a multifaceted artist whose work spanned poetry, prose, philosophy, and painting. His celebrated collection, Gitanjali, showcases his deeply sensitive and beautiful verse, earning him the distinction of being the first non-European Nobel Prize winner in Literature in 1913. While his poetic songs are recognized for their spiritual essence, much of his elegant prose and enchanting poetry remains lesser-known beyond Bengal, solidifying his legacy as "the Bard of Bengal."
