Beschreibung:
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) became the first non-Westerner to win the Nobel Prize in 1913. Among the writers to have translated his work are Gide, Neruda, Pasternak and Akhmatova. His world tours featured debates with figures as diverse as his friend and admirer Gandhi, Einstein and H.G. Wells. The national anthems of both India and Bangladesh were Tagore's compositions. Joe Winter, born in London in 1943, taught English until retiring in 1994 and moving to Calcutta. He has published a book of his own poems, Guest and Host, in 2003, as well as his translations of the Bengali poet Jibanananda Das (also published by Anvil). Devadatta Joardar is a resident of Calcutta and a Bengali scholar. He works for the Calcutta Electricity Board.
Includes six autobiographical prose pieces looking back on the long creative journey of a great Bengali poet.
