Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Rabindranath Tagore (May 7, 1861-August 7, 1941) was born in Calcutta, India. He was a Bengali poet, playwright, song composer, short-story writer, novelist, and painter who introduced new composition and poetry forms and the use of conversational language into Bengali literature, thus freeing it from the old-style, classical Sanskrit. He was highly influential in introducing Indian culture to the West and other parts, and he is generally known as the outstanding creative artist of early 20th-century India. In 1913, he became the first non-European to get the Nobel Prize for Literature. From 1912, Tagore spent most of his time outside of India, lecturing and reading from his work in Europe, East Asia, and the Americas, and turning into a smooth representative as the source of Indian freedom.
