Publisher's Summary

This intellectual biography of Tagore, perhaps the first of its kind, portrays him as a man who was deeply skeptical, self-critical, tormented by conflicts in his inner life, aware of the historical significance of his times and continually interacting with adversaries and friends across the world; someone who built on the heritage of the 19th-century renaissance in India and became one of the makers of the modern Indian mind.

Rabindranath Tagore: An Interpretation situates the iconic figure in the history of his tumultuous times of an India in the throes of the national struggle for independence and of a world moving from Victorian stability to the turmoil of World War II. Coinciding with his 150th birth anniversary, it illuminates Tagore's extraordinary contributions: as a poet and writer, nationalist and ideologue, educationist and philosopher, composer and painter.

A journey through Tagore's mind!

The book doesn't go through the life of Tagore event by event, and speculates how it must've affected the person, as usual biographies do, but it examines Tagore's work and guesses how those works and Tagore's thoughts in them maybe the reflection of his inner life. A unique and crucial study for any creative person! Thanks to the author narrator and audible for this.
