The adaptation I read was around 200 pages. A portion of the letters advanced back to Tagore and are interpreted by him. Tagore won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 - the main non-European to do as such. This gathering of delightfully composed letters showcases the melodious and graceful musicality of Tagore’s composing as he navigates Bengal and waxes articulately on nature, life and living. The symbolism is phenomenal, his way with words evokes genuine emotion and the most straightforward event is raised with words that are practically melodic. A superb perusing background that leaves an enduring impression.
