Gitanđali – Pjesme darovnice

In 1912, Europe discovered a new poetic name - it was Rabindranath Tagore. He was born in distant India, in the city of Calcutta, on May 7, 1861, in a respectable Brahmin family. He traveled to England and there published the collection Gitanjali, which he himself translated from Bengali into English. The famous English poet Yeats wrote an enthusiastic preface to that book, which a year later would bring its author the Nobel Prize.
