    Magnificent
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2015*

I have worked for over thirty years at the Tel Aviv University and lived for more than five years in the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Aviv, just a stone throw away from the Tagore Street. Although I must have said many times "Meet me at the corner of Tagore", I read his Gitanjali only now. Written in Bengali in 1910 and translated into English by Tagore himself (with many alterations from the original cycle), it earned Tagore a Nobel Prize in literature and universal acclaim in the Western world. In the Xist Publishing edition it includes a rather lengthy and somewhat laborious preface by William Butler Yeats. The cycle of 103 short poems, written in white verse, can be best compared to a fusion of Biblical Psalms and Shakespeare's Sonnets. But while the author in Psalms often asks for divine intervention in his affairs (such as a protection against enemies), and Shakespeare bemoans his often unrequited carnal desires, Tagore asks for nothing, except the unearned bliss of living and dying in God's bounty of beauty and wonder of the Universe. While today some of the poems may seem over-lyrical and by contemporary standards, even gushing – they are pervaded by breathtaking beauty of perception and humility. A rare gem, possibly to be read every day. For just a taste- On the day when death will knock at thy door what wilt thou offer to him?  Oh, I will set before my guest the full vessel of my life – I will never let him go with empty hands.From Song 90

    It is beautiful spiritual poetry
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2016*

This is not a story: it is poetry.  It is beautiful spiritual poetry.  Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali is my favorite book of poetry.  Each poem finds wonder and relationship with the Divine in very commonplace occurrences. This particular printing strings all of the individual poems together so that I had to use another edition to separate them with dividing lines and the number of the poem in the margin.  Fewer pages make for a slimmer book, so I am happy to have this copy to carry with me when I want to.

    Writing by Great poet and author from East Rabindranath Tagore
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2020*

I recommend this book because in his acceptance speech at the Noble Prize ceremony is so relevant today. He clearly belonged to the world and Humanity. He was a humble man but his vision of humanity was not confined to East. He invited West and East to join hands. I recommend reading this and his life story. His stories should be read to the children and his poems and work should be studied by the students.
