About the book

Containing an assortment of 103 poems translated from the Bengali by Tagore himself, Gitanjali is literally an ‘offering of songs’ that made Tagore the first non-European to win the prestigious Nobel Prize for Literature (1913).

A poetic masterpiece that explores themes of love, spirituality and the human condition, Gitanjali reveals Tagore’s poetic prowess, his spiritual insights and his profound connection with nature and humanity. It highlights the interconnectedness of all beings as well as the beauty of individual experiences and emotions, embracing a spiritual unity that transcends cultural and societal barriers.
