泰戈爾生平

羅賓德拉納特·泰戈爾（孟加拉語：রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর，1861年5月7日－1941年8月7日），孟加拉族人，是一位印度詩人、哲學家，1913年以《吉檀迦利》成為第一位獲得諾貝爾文學獎的亞洲人。

在西方國家，泰戈爾被看作是一位詩人，很少被看做一位哲學家，但在印度這兩者往往是相同的。在他的詩中含有深刻的宗教和哲學的見解。對泰戈爾來說，他的詩是他奉獻給神的禮物，而他本人是神的求婚者。他的詩在印度享有史詩地位。他泰戈爾在印度教徒心中是一位聖人。

Rabindranath Tagore was born on 7 May 1861 in Calcutta. He was India's greatest modern poet and the most creative genius of the Indian Renaissance. Besides poetry, Tagore wrote songs (both the words and the melodies), short stories, novels, plays (in both prose and verse), essays on a wide range of topics including literary criticism, polemical writing, travelogues, memoirs and books for children. Apart from a few books containing lectures given abroad and personal letters to friends who did not read Bengali, the bulk of his voluminous literary output is in Bengali. Gitanjali(1912), Tagore's own transalation of the poetic prose from the Bengali Gitanjali(1910) won him the Nobel prize for Literature in 1913. Tagore died on 7 August 1941 in the family house in Calcutta where he was born.
