Publisher's Synopsis
Gitanjali and Fruit-Gathering is a collection of two books by Rabindranath Tagore, a Nobel Prize-winning poet, philosopher, and polymath from India. The first book, Gitanjali, is a collection of 103 poems that were originally written in Bengali and translated into English by Tagore himself. The poems are deeply spiritual and explore themes such as love, devotion, and the search for meaning in life. They are widely regarded as some of the most beautiful and profound poems in the English language.The second book, Fruit-Gathering, is a collection of 51 poems that were also originally written in Bengali and translated into English by Tagore. These poems are more personal and introspective than those in Gitanjali, and they explore themes such as nature, human relationships, and the passing of time. Like the poems in Gitanjali, they are marked by Tagore's lyrical language and his deep insights into the human condition.Together, Gitanjali and Fruit-Gathering offer a comprehensive portrait of Tagore's poetic genius and his unique perspective on life, love, and spirituality. They are essential reading for anyone interested in Indian literature, poetry, or philosophy, and they continue to inspire and captivate readers around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
