Features: Tagore is a literary master with a strong Eastern rationality. If he built an solemn ideal kingdom with poetry, then prose is a pure cultivation forest where his soul's home finds refuge: his scourging of evil, compassion for the weak, and deep love and yearning for pure nature and a beautiful life all inspire a religious-like shock and infection. His light and unrestrained, elegant and serene writing style further imbues his prose with a philosopher's spirit, often unconsciously evoking a sense of belonging and attachment in readers. This book selects 60 prose works by Tagore from different periods of his life, and is the authentic English translation of Tagore's prose.
