Interest in the life and work of the Nobel-Prize-winning writer, Rabindranath Tagore, is now enjoying a revival after many years of neglect outside India. This selection of some 350 letters spanning Tagore's entire life is the first to be available to English readers. The letters are intended to show as many facets of his experience, interests and ideas as possible, and will be a valuable source of information, not only for the understanding of the complexity of Tagore's personality, but also of the times in which he lived.
Read more- Many previously unpublished letters included, and also some never available before in English, make fascinating reading
- Publication of the book in 1997, the 50th anniversary of India's independence, is good timing, given Tagore's international reputation
- Editors are well known for their extensive work on the subject
