The letters translated in this book span the most productive period of my literary life, when, owing to great good fortune, I was young and less known.
Youth being exuberant and leisure ample, I felt the writing of letters other than business ones to be a delightful necessity. This is a form of literary extravagance only possible when a surplus of thought and emotion accumulates. Other forms of literature remain the author's and are made public for his good; letters that have been given to private individuals once for all, are therefore characterized by the more generous abandonment.
It so happened that selected extracts from a large number of such letters found their way back to me years after they had been written. It had been rightly conjectured that they would delight me by bringing to mind the memory of days when, under the shelter of obscurity, I enjoyed the greatest freedom my life has ever known.
Since these letters synchronize 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.
20th June 1920.

As a lifelong reader and appreciator of Sri Rabindranath Tagore, I was particularly thrilled to read his letters. They are charming; filled with reflections about life from a spiritual perspective and set in his Bengali homeland, they are full of vivid descriptions of the people, place and times. A "must read" for "Tagoreophiles"!

Glimpses of Bengal Selected from the Letters of Sir Rabindranath Tagore [annotated with photographs] eBook Rabindranath Tagore Reviews

A collection of 2-page snippets, bringing out the sights and sounds experienced by Rabindranath Thakur during his boat journeys across the Eastern parts of India during late 19th century. Along with graphic description of nature as seen through his eyes, with its usual lyrical quality, the pieces bring out the moods and ruminations of the poet as well. A good read, if you want to go back to those, more tranquil times.
