Autorenporträt
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) became the first non-Westerner to win the Nobel Prize in 1913. Among the writers to have translated his work are Gide, Neruda, Pasternak and Akhmatova. His world tours featured debates with figures as diverse as his friend and admirer Gandhi, Einstein and H.G. Wells. He composed the national anthems of both India and Bangladesh. Joe Winter, born in London in 1943, taught English until retiring in 1994 and moving to Calcutta. He has published a book of his own poems, Guest and Host, in 2003, as well as his translations of the Bengali poet Jibanananda Das (also published by Anvil).
