The Crescent Moon

Viac o knihe

Exploring the life and impact of a transformative figure in literature and art, this book delves into the contributions of a Bengali poet and philosopher who reshaped Bengali literature and music during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Renowned for his sensitive and beautiful verse in Gitanjali, he was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. Despite his global recognition, much of his elegant prose and magical poetry remains underappreciated outside Bengal, earning him the title "the Bard of Bengal."
