Classic novel.According to Wikipedia: "e;Rabindranath Tagore (May 1861 - 7 August 1941)was a Bengali polymath who reshaped his region's literature and music.

Author of Gitanjali and its "e;profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse"e;, he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.

His "e;elegant prose and magical poetry"e; remain largely unknown outside Bengal."e;
