Gitanjali

Gitanjali is a collection of poems by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. In 1913, Tagore became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize, specifically the Nobel Prize for literature, largely for the English &quote;Gitanjali&quote;. The English &quote;&quote;Gitanjali&quote;&quote; became very famous in the West, and was widely translated. The word gitanjali is composed from &quote;git&quote;, song, and &quote;anjali&quote;, offering, and thus means - &quote;An offering of songs&quote;; but the word for offering, anjali, has a strong devotional connotation, so the title may also be interpreted as &quote;prayer offering of song&quote;
