Bok av Rabindranath Tagore
According to Wikipedia: "e;Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 - 7 August 1941), sobriquet Gurudev, was a Bengali poet, novelist, musician, painter and playwright who reshaped Bengali literature and music. As author of Gitanjali and its "e;profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse"e;, he was the first non-European who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. His poetry in translation was viewed as spiritual, and this together with his mesmerizing persona gave him a prophet-like aura in the west. His "e;elegant prose and magical poetry"e; still remain largely unknown outside the confines of Bengal."e;
