Letters from a Young Poet 1887 1895

This book collects letters Tagore wrote in his twenties and early thirties, mostly to his niece Indira. Written while he managed family estates in rural Bengal, they describe river journeys, villages, weather, and the people he met. They also show his thoughts on writing and on his own growth as a poet. Informal and lively, they offer a close view of the young writer and of the landscapes that shaped his work.
