Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Gitanjali" by Rabindranath Tagore is a collection of poems originally published in Bengali in 1910. Meaning "Song offering," this work explores devotion as its central theme, with the motto "I am here to sing thee songs." The collection's English translation earned Tagore the 1913 Nobel Prize for Literature, making him the first non-European to receive this honor. These meditative verses blend medieval Indian devotional lyrics with themes of love, while exploring tensions between material desires and spiritual yearning.
