Well worth the read

Amiya Chakravarty was my grandfather, so I'm a bit biased. Nevertheless, if you have any interest in Tagore, this book is a superb introduction as well as detailed overview of Tagore and his work. It is easily available from multiple sources.

A must buy for all Tagore fans!

Nobel Laurate, poet, writer, philosopher, musician, painter, educator - Tagore was a multifaceted genius and a renaissance man par excellence! The section on philosophical meditations gives a cross-section of the cosmic vision of his legendary mastermind. Every page of this book resonates his own words; "The world speaks to me in colours, my soul answers in music". Can't recomment this enough for anyone who is interested in literature or philosophy in general or the works of Tagore in particular.

Samples of Tagore's Output
