Home and the World

Classic novel. According to Wikipedia: "e;Rabindranath Tagore (May 1861 - 7 August 1941)was a Bengali polymath who reshaped his region's literature and music. Author of Gitanjali and its "e;profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse"e;, he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. In translation his poetry was viewed as spiritual and mercurial; his seemingly mesmeric personality, flowing hair, and other-worldly dress earned him a prophet-like reputation in the West. His "e;elegant prose and magical poetry"e; remain largely unknown outside Bengal."e;
