Rabindranath Tagore Collected editions

Rabindranath Tagore (1861 – 1941) was an Indian poet, novelist, and philosopher whose poetry collection Gitanjali won the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature — the first awarded to a non-European. Written in lyrical, devotional verse, the work reflects Tagore’s deep spirituality, blending Indian and Western literary traditions.

Tagore’s achievements extended beyond literature into music, painting, and educational reform. His songs, including the national anthems of India and Bangladesh, continue to inspire cultural pride.

Through Gitanjali, Rabindranath Tagore offered the world a meditation on love, divinity, and the unity of all life.
