Stray Birds

Autor Rabindranath Tagore
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 mai 2012
"Stray Birds," by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, contains ideas on nature, man, and his environment as may be entertained by a man sitting by a window where the stray birds of summer sing and fly away. These very short poems are often just an image or the distillation of a thought, but they stay in the mind and do not fly away as easily as the birds.

Notă biografică

Rabindranath Tagore was born in Calcutta, India, in 1861. A poet, novelist, short-story writer, playwright, composer, educator, philosopher, and artist, he became one of the central figures of the Bengali Renaissance. Educated largely at home, Tagore began writing at an early age and eventually transformed Bengali literature through his use of natural speech, psychological realism, and close attention to ordinary life.Tagore wrote poetry, novels, plays, essays, songs, and hundreds of short stories. His best-known works include Gitanjali, The Home and the World, The Gardener, and The Post Office. His short fiction frequently explores village life, social inequality, women's experiences, childhood, family obligations, and the conflicts between tradition and modernity. He also founded an experimental school at Santiniketan that later developed into Visva-Bharati University.In 1913, Tagore received the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first Asian recipient of the award. The Nobel committee recognized the sensitivity and beauty of his verse, but his achievement extended far beyond poetry. He also composed songs that became the national anthems of India and Bangladesh. Tagore died in 1941, leaving behind an immense body of work that continues to influence literature, music, education, and cultural thought around the world.
