This year marks 60 years of Gitanjali – a landmark moment that introduced the world to Rabindranath Tagore’s luminous verse and earned him the 1913 Nobel Prize for Literature.
This Folio pairs Tagore’s transcendent poetry with six full-page woodcut illustrations by Anagh Banerjee, each one echoing the stillness and rhythm of the verse. A powerful new introduction by poet and singer Amit Chaudhuri adds fresh depth, responding to W. B. Yeats’s original introduction and exploring the work’s rich cultural roots.
From yearning to grace, Gitanjali is a lyrical immersion in love, life and Bengali soul. And this is the perfect opportunity to mark the anniversary.
