Glimpses of Bengal - Rabindranath Tagore - Bog

Glimpses of Bengal comprises of exerpts derived and collected from Rabindranath Tagore's letters about various places and areas in Bengal.

""Since these letters synchronise with a considerable part of my published writings, I thought their parallel course would broaden my readers' understanding of my poems as a track is widened by retreading the same ground. Such was my justification for publishing them in a book for my countrymen. Hoping that the descriptions of village scenes in Bengal contained in these letters would also be of interest to English readers, the translation of a selection of that selection has been entrusted to one who, among all those whom I know, was best fitted to carry it out."" -RABINDRANATH TAGORE
