AAA+++","description":"A collection of prose translations\u003cbr\u003emade by the author from the original Bengali\u003cbr\u003eWith an introduction by W. B. YEATS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGitanjali (Bangla Gitanjoli) is a collection of 103 English poems, largely translations, by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe word gitanjoli is composed from \"git\", song, and \"anjoli\", offering, and thus means - \"An offering of songs\"; but the word for offering, anjoli, has a strong devotional connotation, so the title may also be interpreted as \"prayer offering of song\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe poems of Gitanjali express a largely metaphysical outlook, talking about a union with the \"supreme\"; but like much western poetry that explores similar themes, the language suggests the union of two earthly lovers. This type of anthropomorphic depiction of celestial love is quite common in the Vaishnava literature of India since the 12th c.","brand":"BDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146676388080,"sku":"2940016394220","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016394220_p0.jpg?v=1763635212","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016394220","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
