The Fugitive

Viac o knihe

Renowned for his profound sensitivity and beauty in verse, the Bengali poet and philosopher reshaped literature and music in Bengal during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His celebrated work, Gitanjali, earned him the distinction of being the first non-European Nobel Prize laureate in Literature in 1913. While his poetic songs are recognized for their spiritual quality, his elegant prose and magical poetry remain largely undiscovered beyond Bengal, earning him the title "the Bard of Bengal."
