Description

Tagore's novel Glimpses of Bengal is a thorough exploration of the East Indian culture and tradition, as well as the contrast in how the British ruled. The book begins with a short overview of Tagore's life, and proceeds to give an in-depth look into the lives of many different people from across Bengal. Along with telling these stories, Tagore also delves into his own views on the political and social climate in Bengal at that time.

Author

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) wrote Gitanjali and made a world listen to Bengal. Poet, songwriter, playwright, and founder of Santiniketan, he was the first non-European Nobel laureate in literature. The English Gitanjali is a doorway; the Bengali work is a city. He composed songs that became national anthems and argued, politely and without pause, for a modern India that could still sing. Fourteen titles here.
