🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

The famous Gitanjali.

It’s a poem so inevitably it loses the beauty when it’s translated.
I also looked a bit at the Japanese translation but it was better than the English version.

“Song offerings” to god, so I’m unfortunately not familiar with the sentiment as I don’t know much, but it is nice and beautiful to read.
It opens your mind and heart to another layer of the world, away from the everyday rush life.

First Asian to receive a Nobel Prize.
He had a warm relationship with Japan and Japanese artists, but he was very critical of the Japanese nationalism in the 1920s and eventually stopped visiting Japan.
