About The Book: In "Lover's Gift," the poet passionately urges his beloved to walk in his garden and be enchanted by its fervid flowers. The beloved is as comforting as sleep to his tired limbs, and they both show their love through petulant moments. The poems in "Crossing" carry a sense of religiosity, akin to those in Gitanjali. They evoke the presence of the Almighty, and the poet yearns for his life to be lifted from the dust. There is hope amidst loss, with the belief that nothing truly fades or is lost forever. These works offer a captivating journey of love, loss, and spirituality by the Kaviguru. About The Author: Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a Bengali-Indian poet, writer, philosopher, and social reformer known for reshaping Bengali literature and music with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 for his book "Gitanjali," a collection of profoundly sensitive and beautiful poems. Tagore's works spanned various genres, including novels, short stories, dramas, and essays, addressing political and personal topics. He founded Visva-Bharati University and advocated for humanism, universalism, and independence from British rule. His compositions inspired national anthems for India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
