Gitanjali

During his trip to London in 1912, Tagore translated over a hundred of his Bengali songs and poems to god into English under the title Gitanjali. This collection was published in November 1912 by the India Society of London and in March 1913 by Macmillan, whereupon Tagore became the first non-European to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
