About the author

Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 "because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West."

Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic strictures. His novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics political and personal. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are his best-known works, and his verse, short stories, and novels were acclaimed—or panned—for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and unnatural contemplation. His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems: India's Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh's Amar Shonar Bangla.

[Brokigablad · Rating 4 out of 5]

Poëtische kortverhalen met veel oog voor mensen aan de onderkant van de maatschappij, in situaties die zich buiten het openbare leven afspelen.

[Dirk Mercelis · Rating 2 out of 5]

een verzameling mierzoete verhaaltjes, soms een beetje filosofisch, vaak niemendalletjes.
