Rabindranath Tagore: Convalescence and Selected Songs (Hardbound - 2008)

If poetry is best of words, best of thoughts and best imagination, arranged in the best possible form and order of expression, Rabindranath Tagore: Convalescence and Selected Songs fulfils all these prerequisites and is enriched with excellence and recrystallization. It is a serene assortment of the vision of life and experience adroitly portrayed with superb craftsmanship in poignance and perfection. An incomparable pointer to reassess the macabre and marooned humanism from which the much mesmerized technocracy-doped modernity suffers, the poems of Convalescence and Selected Songs harp on the tunes of association with the All Serene by being christened anew in the cathedral of consciousness.

The songs of Tagore spring forth from the heartland of humanism with all their finest forms of efflorescence. The revered reader will certainly encounter a rare and rewarded world of unison of sensibilities.

An unparalleled and lifelong companion.
