The poems presented in this volume are from the last four years of his life. They were written after two spells of serious illness. The shadow of approaching death is prominent, although one should not be misled into thinking that death is the only topic of his late creation. The poems are chosen to give the volume a thematic unity. The volumes from which the collection is selected are: Prantik (1938), Rog-Sajyay (1940), Arogya (1940), Janmadine (1941) and Sesh Lekha (1941).
The translator, Dr Dipak Mazumdar is an academic economist who has had long careers in teaching at the London School of Economics and in research at the World Bank. He currently is researching at the University of Toronto.
One of India's most cherished renaissance figures, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) put India on the literary map of the world when his Gitanjali was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. Myriad-minded, he was a poet, short story writer, novelist, dramatist, essayist, painter and composer of songs. His worldwide acclaim as a social, political, religious and aesthetic thinker, innovator in education and a champion of the 'One World' idea makes him a living presence
