Publisher's Note India's only Nobel laureate, Rabindranath Tagore, was one of the most important writers in 20th-century Indian literature. Among his expansive and impressive body of work, "Gitanjali" is regarded as one of his greatest achievements, and has been a perennial bestseller since it was first published in paperback in 1971.
Industry Reviews "I am looking forward eagerly to the German edition of Rabindranath Tagore. Here Andre Gide has just told us about his response to this poet and enthusiastically read us some samples of his translation of 'Gitanjali', which truly seems to be carried along by the flow of these poems."
