About the author
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a towering figure in Indian literature, an accomplished poet, novelist, musician, and playwright known for reshaping Bengali literature and music. Born into a prominent Calcutta family, Tagore penned his first poetry at eight years of age. He advanced the Bengali literary tradition through his expansive body of work, which includes poetry, short stories, novels, essays, plays, and music, often integrating themes of culture, politics, and spirituality. Tagore became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, most notably for his acclaimed collection of poems, 'Gitanjali.' His literary style combined lyrical beauty with philosophical depth, often reflecting on life and human connections with nature. Among his celebrated works is 'The Gardener' (মাল্যবান, Mālyabān), an intimate collection of love poems that reveal Tagore's mastery of words and his ability to express complex emotions with simplicity and grace. Tagore's contributions to literature and his lyrical prose have left an indelible mark on the world and continue to inspire readers and writers globally. His works are considered part of the canon of world literature and remain subject to extensive literary scholarship.
