Gitanjali is a collection of poems written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1910. With this work, the writer won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913.
In Gitanjali, Tagore reflects on the smallness of man in the face of nature and the Creator. The poems lead us to imagine nature or God and offer a sense of wonder at beauty and divinity.
They deal with themes such as life, death, faith, religion, and even work and poverty.
The more than one hundred poems in this book were written in Bengali and translated into English by Tagore himself. Delve into the essence of the human connection to the divine through this moving journey, where each poem is a soul-lifting gem.
"Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life."
