Rabindranath Tagore has not only been a one-man synthesis of the old and the new the ancient and the modern but he has also been because of his extra-ordinary catholicity of mind a leading light to the world struggling to be reborn into sanity. This edition is an offering to the memory of Rabindranath Tagore on the occasion of the Centenary of his birth and contains valuable studies on the many aspects of Tagore's personality and genius contributed by eminent writers and scholars from many parts of the world. There is a full and comprehensive chronicle of the poet's life from year to year. The incorporation of some famous portraits of the poet by distinguished artists adds to the value of this publication which is as much a tribute to the genius of Tagore as a guide to its comprehension.
