With Lipika Tagore introduced a new genre into Bengali literature - that of the unrhymed prose poem - and set a fashion which many young writers were to follow. In a series of short sketches, based on the themes from myths, fairy tales and incidents from the everyday world, he distilled his wisdom about human nature, about love, death and the pursuit of life's goals, making his point with delicacy, subtle humour and the assured touch that springs from deep understanding.

About the Author:

Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941), was a Bengali polymath who reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he became in 1913 the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal.He is sometimes referred to as "the Bard of Bengal".
