| Publisher Description: Gitanjali is a collection of poems by the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. The original Bengali collection of 157 poems is presented here. The English Gitanjali or Song Offerings is a collection of 103 English poems of Tagore's own English translations of his Bengali poems. The translations were often radical, leaving out or altering large chunks of the poems. In 1913, Tagore became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, largely for the English Gitanjali. |
