About 2 h 30 min of reading33 chapters

Creative Unity, published in London in 1922, gathers lectures and essays that Rabindranath Tagore wrote in the years after he received the Nobel Prize. In The Poet's Religion, The Creative Ideal and The Religion of the Forest he describes the unity of the individual with nature and the infinite that he finds at the heart of Indian thought and of all true art. An Indian Folk Religion introduces the songs of the Baul singers of Bengal. East and West and the essays that follow criticize the nationalism and commercial greed of the modern age and call for genuine meeting between cultures. Tagore's prose is lyrical, earnest and humane. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
