My Reminiscences

<p>'My Reminiscences' one of the most valuable work by Tagore is composed with satire vision and more than a little self-mockery which gives a unique and reliable insight into the life of this great literary genius. It is an account of the first twenty-seven formative years of his</p><p>life. Rather than a traditional autobiography it is a series of 'memory pictures' of the author born into a glorious and highly aristocratic family.</p><p>Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a renowned poet musician polymath Ayurveda-researcher and an artist who recast music Bengali literature and Indian art in the late 19th and early 20th century. Author of the profoundly sensitive revolutionary and beautiful</p><p>verse of Gitanjali he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in the year 1913. Rabindranath Tagore was also referred to as 'the Bard of Bengal'. His compositions Jana Gana Mana and Amar Sonar Bangla were embraced by two nations as their</p><p>national anthems respectively.</p>
