As a young man, Rabindranath Tagore wrote a series of letters to his niece during what he described as the most productive period of his life. By turns contemplative and playful, gentle and impassioned, Tagore's letters abound in incredible insights - from sharply comical portrayals of English sahibs to live anecdotes about family life, from thoughts on the nature of poetry to spiritual contemplation and inner feeling.
And coursing through all these letters, like a ceaseless heartbeat, is Tagore's deep love for the natural splendour of Bengal. In this manner, this volume also serves as a prose companion to his magnificant work Gitanjali.
