Synopsis
Widely regarded as one of the most important figures in Indian (and more specifically Bengali) literary history, Rabindranath Tagore was the first Indian-indeed, the first person outside Europe-to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, largely in recognition of his "spiritual offering of songs," Gitanjali.Tagore himself translated the poems from the original Bengali, taking many liberties in the process. His English translation is rightly recognized as a work distinct from the Bengali original, consisting of major revisions, many elisions, and many poems originally published in other collections.Tagore's lyrical simplicity, vivid imagery, and themes of nature, spirituality, death, and transcendence combine to produce a truly unique, powerfully moving work of thoughtful beauty. For many who read it, Tagore's words in Song XCVI ring true: "What I have seen is unsurpassable. I have tasted of the hidden honey of this lotus that expands on the ocean of light, and thus I am blessed."

About the Author
Rabindranath Tagore bzw. Rabindranath Thakur (bengalisch রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর Rabīndranāth Ṭhākur, [ɾobin̪d̪ɾonat̪ʰ ʈʰakuɾ] anhören?/i; * 7. Mai 1861 in Kalkutta; † 7. August 1941 ebenda) war ein bengalischer Philosoph, Dichter, Maler, Komponist, Musiker und Brahmo-Samaj-Anhänger in Indien. Tagore erhielt 1913 den Nobelpreis für Literatur und war damit der erste asiatische Nobelpreisträger. Tagore revolutionierte in einer als „Bengalische Renaissance" bekannten Zeit die bengalische Literatur mit Werken wie Ghare baire (deutsch Das Heim und die Welt) oder Gitanjali und erweiterte die bengalische Kunst mit einer Unzahl von Gedichten, Kurzgeschichten, Briefen, Essays und Bildern. Er war ein engagierter Kultur- und Sozialreformer sowie Universalgelehrter. Die Kunst seiner Heimat modernisierte er, indem er ihre strikte Struktur und klassische Formensprache gezielt angriff. Zwei seiner Lieder sind heute die Nationalhymnen von Bangladesch und Indien: Amar Shonar Bangla und Jana Gana Mana. Tagore wurde als Gurudeb bezeichnet, ein Ehrentitel, der sich auf Guru und Deva bezieht.
