Rabindranath Tagore Biography and latest books by Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941) was a Bengali poet, novelist, musician, painter and playwright, who reshaped Bengali literature and music. He authored Gitanjali known for its profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse. He was also the first non-European who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. His poetry in translation was viewed as spiritual, and this together with his mesmerizing persona gave him a prophet-like aura in the West. His "elegant prose and magical poetry" still remain distinct to him.

A Pirali Brahminfrom Kolkata, Tagore began writing poems at age eight. At age 16, he published his first substantial poetry under the pseudonym Bhanushingho (Sun Lion) and wrote his first short stories and dramas in 1877. Tagore was taken notice of when he denounced the British Raj and supported Indian independence.

Tagore’s novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke about political and personal topics. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are his best-known works, and his verse, short stories, and novels were acclaimed for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and contemplation. Tagore was perhaps the only litterateur who penned anthems of two countries - Jana Gana Mana, the Indian national anthem and Amar Shonar Bangla, the Bangladeshi national anthem.

Personal life
He was the youngest of 13 surviving children. He was mostly raised by servants, as his mother had died in his early childhood and his father Maharishi Debendranath Tagore, a wealthy religious reformer travelled extensively. Tagore largely declined classroom schooling. Young Rabi read biographies and was home educated in history, astronomy, modern science, and Sanskrit, and examined the poetry of Kālidāsa. 
On 9 December, 1883, he married Mrinalini Devi (born Bhabatarini, 1873–1902) and had five children, two of whom died before reaching adulthood.

Works
Tagore wrote Bhikharini - The Beggar Woman (1877), which happens to be Bengali language\'s first short story. He also penned Sandhya Sangit (1882). Though known mostly for his poetry, Tagore also wrote novels, essays, short stories, travelogues, dramas, and thousands of songs. Of Tagore\'s prose, his short stories are perhaps most highly regarded; as he is credited with originating the Bengali version of the genre. His works are frequently noted for their rhythmic, optimistic, and lyrical nature. Such stories mostly borrow from deceptively simple subject matter: common people.

Novels
Tagore wrote eight novels and four novellas, among them Chaturanga, Shesher Kobita, Char Odhay, and Noukadubi. Ghare Baire (The Home and the World)—through the lens of the idealistic zamindar protagonist Nikhil—excoriates rising Indian nationalism, terrorism, and religious zeal in the Swadeshi movement; a frank expression of Tagore\'s conflicted sentiments.

In Jogajog (relationships), the heroine Kumudini—bound by the ideals of Śiva-Sati, exemplified by Dākshāyani—is torn between her pity for the sinking fortunes of her progressive and compassionate elder brother and his foil: her exploitative, rakish, and patriarchical husband. In it, Tagore demonstrates his feminist leanings, using pathos to depict the plight and ultimate demise of Bengali women trapped by pregnancy, duty, and family honour; simultaneously, he treats the decline of Bengal\'s landed oligarchy.

Non-fiction
Tagore wrote many non-fiction books, writing on topics ranging from Indian history to linguistics to spirituality. Along with autobiographical works, his travelogues, essays, and lectures were compiled into several volumes, including Europe Jatrir Patro (Letters from Europe) and Manusher Dhormo (The Religion of Man).
