Yeats in 1912  a year before Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature  becoming the first Asian writer so honored. Traveling the world for several decades and sharing both his artistic and spiritual gifts with millions  Tagore was praised and admired in his time like no other twentieth-century writer as a spiritual seer and a literary genius. This biography  the product of more than ten years of research and collaboration between the authors  is the first work in many decades to disentangle the profound and perplexing contradictions that made Tagore such a fascinating and pivotal figure. He was one of the very first to perceive that - despite the great geographic and cultural distance between them - East and West would be compelled to meet in the twentieth century. Truly myriad-minded  Tagore expressed the pleasure and pain of this encounter in poetry  songwriting  and painting. \"I can now imagine a powerful and gentle Christ  which I never could before \" Charles Darwins granddaughter told a friend after meeting Rabindranath. Focusing more on the man than his art and drawing extensively on newly uncovered material  Rabindranath Tagore brings to life a brilliant artist and his complicated times. Passionate  compelling  and insightful  Tagores story has the power to move its readers in the very core of their being.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648130375733,"sku":"ByrdShop_0312140304","price":32.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312140304_4b808134-9acc-4309-b9da-35eb97d30046.jpg?v=1781710437","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/rabindranath-tagore-the-myriadminded-man-9780312140304","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
