Show Yourself to My Soul: A New Translation of Gitanjali - Softcover
Out of Bengal and the Hindu spiritual tradition comes a Nobel prize-winning mystical poet whose time for broad, popular acceptance has come. William Butler Yeats fell in love with these poems almost a 100 years ago, the Nobel Committee honored them with their literature prize in 1913 and just recently The Utne Reader cited Tagore as one of today's most overlooked spiritual writers. This new edition is important because its lyrical translation has been made from Tagore's original Bengali and because it makes the entire collection of 157 Gitanjali, or "song offerings" available to a wider audience for the first time. Rabindranath Tagore wrote with the insight and emotion that so characterizes Kahlil Gibran, with the mystical passion that has made Jalaluddin Rumi so popular and with a simplicity and depth that remains fresh and attractive to today's seekers.

From the Back Cover:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FROM THE ORIGINAL EDITION- My deep and sincere thanks to this greatest of poets, Rabindranath Tagore. He has so very much to say, and he says it quite superbly. Bengalis rightly call him the World Poet because everyone can identify with him. He is an excellent teacher who puts life-giving thoughts into inspirational and attractive language-yet this translation is only one-hundredth of the original Bengali. I offer deep and sincere thanks to my friends Abdul Hafiz and Nolini Sarker for helping me with suggestions and corrections.
About the Author:
BROTHER JAMES
May 4, 1983
Winner of Asia's first Nobel Prize for literature in 1913, Rabindranath Tagore was probably the most famous Indian apart from Gandhi. From a wealthy, well-educated family, Tagore traveled extensively, and wrote from an early age, authoring many volumes of plays, short stories, novels and essays, plus over 2500 musical compositions.
