About this book

Looking back from middle age, Tagore gathers the scattered impressions of his childhood in the large, cultured household of the Tagores in Calcutta, and the slow awakening of the poet within him. He writes less as a chronicler of events than as an artist sifting memory for the moments that shaped his imagination: servants and schoolrooms, the changing seasons of the family garden, early experiments in verse, and the sudden openings of feeling that fed his later work. First published in Bengali in 1912 as Jibansmriti, this is an intimate, unhurried self-portrait rather than a formal life story. It offers a rare view of the inner growth of one of the modern world's great poets. A free PDF and EPUB edition is available.

About the author

Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a Bengali poet, composer, painter, and thinker whose reshaping of literature and music left a lasting mark on the subcontinent. In 1913 he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and he wrote the national anthems of both India and Bangladesh.
