Rabindranath Tagore

Gitanjali

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali, a collection of poems, the most popular work by Rabindranath Tagore, was published in India in 1910. Later, he translated it into prose poetry in English as Gitanjali, Song Offerings, and it was published in 1912 with an introduction by William Butler Yeats. Medieval Indian lyrics of affection gave Tagore's model to the poems of Gitanjali, as well as he composed music for these lyrics. Love is the essential subject, even though some poems are about the internal journey between spiritual longings and earthly desires. More of his imagination is drawn from nature, and the commanding mood is minor-key and muted. This collection helped him win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. However, a few later critics disagreed that it addressed Tagore's best work.

Autorenporträt

Rabindranath Tagore (May 7, 1861-August 7, 1941) was born in Calcutta, India. He was a Bengali poet, playwright, song composer, short-story writer, novelist, and painter who introduced new composition and poetry forms and the use of conversational language into Bengali literature, thus freeing it from the old-style, classical Sanskrit. He was highly influential in introducing Indian culture to the West and other parts, and he is generally known as the outstanding creative artist of early 20th-century India. In 1913, he became the first non-European to get the Nobel Prize for Literature. From 1912, Tagore spent most of his time outside of India, lecturing and reading from his work in Europe, East Asia, and the Americas, and turning into a smooth representative as the source of Indian freedom.
