Stray Birds

Beschreibung

There are so many wonderful adjectives that would perfectly describe the creations of Rabindranath Tagore as maestro of words. 'Stray Birds' is a compilation of the short poems and all of them talk eloquently about simplicity of nature and divinity that exists within each and every thing around us. If there are is anything amiss, that is the eye that sees it all and a heart that feels it all. This is the gap that Tagore wonderfully bridges with his words that speak of nothing by the purest of elements that define human soul. It is with the very simple elements of natures that he draws attention towards bountiful nature and how it exists within the profound depths of heart of man as well.

Autor

Rabindranath Tagore was born on May 7, 1861 in a Kolkata, India. He was the son of Debendranath Tagore (1817-1905) and Sarada Devi (1830-1875). Because of his mother's early death and his father's frequent travel, he spent most of his childhood with servants. He didn't like classroom schooling and roamed around Bolpur and Panihati where his family frequently visited. He was married to Mrinalini Devi (1873-1902) when she was 10 years of age. His father also had a keen interest in music and invited several professional Dhrupad musicians to teach music to children. Rabindranath's original surname was Kushari which was changed to Tagore. He belonged to Pirali Brahmin from the village of Kush in Burdwan district of West Bengal. He is known for reshaping Bengali literature, music and art with modernization. He became the first Non-European and first lyricist to win Nobel Prize in Literature. He was a polymath and wrote poems, short stories, songs, play writer, philosopher and painter. Tagore started writing poems from the age of eight and at the age of sixteen his first poem released under pseudonym Bh¿nusi¿ha. In 1877, his short stories and dramas released under his real name. From 1878 to 1912 he traveled to more than 30 countries on five continents.
