Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was born in Calcutta, India, the son of a wealthy Bengali family. He was privately tutored until the age of seventeenm when he first went abroad to study law in England. However, he soon returned to his native country and, for a time, managed his father's estates and devoted himself to the Indian nationalist movement. He gradually abandoned this work although he always retained a strong interest in politics. Sir Rabindranath wrote approximately 50 dramas, 100 books of verse (many of which he set to music), 40 volumes of novels and shorter fiction and books of essays and philosophy. In 1913 he received the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first Asian to receive this honor. Two years later he was knighted.... This present volume is an axpansion of the 1930 Hibbert Lectures, first delivered at Manchester College, Oxford. In them, the author expressed his deepest thoughts on human life in its relation to the divine and his own original ideas concerning the nature and being of God.
