The Gardener was first published in 1913 and was dedicated to W.B.Yeats. The bulk of these poems came from Kshanika (1900) - a work distinguished by abundance, spontaneity, irony and sprightly metre. The Gardener also includes poems of much earlier works like Kadi O Komal (1886), Manashi (1890) and Mayar Khela (1889).
One of India's most cherished renaissance figures, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) put India on the literary map of the world when his Gitanjali was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. Myriad-minded, he was a poet, short story writer, novelist, dramatist, essayist, painter and composer of songs. His worldwide acclaim as a social, political, religious and aesthetic thinker, innovator in education and a champion of the 'One World' idea makes him a living presence.
