A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Gitanjali", or Song Offerings, is a collection of poems translated by the author, Rabindranath Tagore, from the original Bengali. This collection won the Nobel prize for Tagore in 1913. This volume includes the original introduction by William Butler Yeats that accompanied the 1911 English language version. "Gitanjali" is a collection of over 100 inspirational poems by India's greatest poet. A collection of 103 poems, and contains the original manuscript for which he won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and an introduction by William Butler Yeats. The poems of "Gitanjali" express a largely metaphysical outlook, talking about a union with the supreme; but like much western poetry that explores similar themes, the language suggests the union of two earthly lovers. It's Tagore's best-known collection in the West.
