Rabindranath Tagore: Why we need him today

Updated on 20/01/2025

Auteur : Guillaume Bridet

Publisher : Bingsha Shatabdi

The book is a collection of essays by French professor Guillaume Bridet on his research on the literature, life, and philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore. The essays in the book are essentially the lectures that he delivered during his visit to India, on the occasion of the release of his book Rabindranath Tagore: Bharat Anginay Bishwa, regarding Tagore’s place in the context of the larger world.

The collection of essays touches upon Tagore’s relationship with Europe and the world, as well as his vision of a cosmopolitical era where the idea of humanity overrides that of the nation-state.
