Autorenporträt
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), geboren in Kalkutta, entstammte einem Brahmanengeschlecht; aber gerade diese Herkunft aus einer uns in ihrem Reichtum nachgerade abstrakt erscheinenden Welt der Paläste und Landgüter hat seinen Blick für die niederdrückende soziale Wirklichkeit seiner Heimat eher geschärft. So hielt es ihn, der schon als Achtzehnjähriger der gefeierte Dichter seiner Heimat war und dessen Werk 1913 mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur gekrönt wurde, nicht in dem Elfenbeinturm des weltabgewandten Poeten. Er starb 1941.
