This book brings together personal letters by Rabindranath Tagore written in his youth, a period he himself considered the most fruitful of his literary life.

Recommended for readers of epistolary literature and classical poetry, especially for those wishing to discover Tagore's personal side.
Rabindranath Tagore was a Bengali poet, author, playwright, musician, composer, philosopher, social reformer, painter, and one of the foremost figures of the Bengal Renaissance. In 1913, Tagore became the first Indian and non-European to win a Nobel Prize in any category, and also the first lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. A significant moulder of culture within Bengal and the Indian subcontinent, he wrote and composed the national anthems of India and Bangladesh.
