“In art, man reveals himself and not his objects.” – Rabindranath Tagore.
Rabindranath Tagore, a name very close to our hearts, evokes a feeling of pride, awe and inspiration and continues to arouse our curiosity to know more about this multi-faceted personality. Biographers have either tried to analyse his works in the light of his life or in the perspective of his contemporary time. This book chronicles the Poet’s contributions in the context of the period to which he belonged, bringing into light those incidents, anecdotes and issues which have often been overlooked but which nonetheless are significant as they enable us to understand Tagore better.
His role as a son, brother, husband, father; his accomplishments as a poet, philosopher, writer, painter, choreographer, actor; his relations with his family, friends, contemporary writers and poets, as well as predecessors; his correspondences with the political leaders of his time within the nation as well as abroad; and above all, his interpretations about life, revealing his quest for love, faith and devotion and his deep-rooted anguish, his unfulfilled dreams and expectations as projected in the broad sweep of this lucid narration reveal two facets of the Poet—a man of extraordinary abilities yet a man having ordinary expectations, who could thereby understand the joys and sorrows of the common man keeping aside his own gains and losses. And it is for this reason that Tagore remains dear to all people cutting across boundaries, generations, caste, creed or sect.

"man has intrinsic delight in the act of creation " - Rabindranath Tagore

"I do not want to die in this beautiful world,
But live in the hearts of men,
And find a niche in the sun-sprinkled, flowered forest.
The play of life heaves like waves
With its tears and smiles,
Meeting and parting!
Stringing together
Man's joys and sorrows,
I want to build on this earth
My eternal home.
Ever new flower-songs I bring to blossom,
For you to gather them, dawn and dusk.
Take them smiling -
And alas, when they wither
Scatter them far away."
~ Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941 ~
