The Crescent Moon

"The Crescent Moon" is an incredible collection of introspective poems by Rabindranath Tagore. Originally written in Bengali, the poet himself translated the book into English. Most of the poems in 'The Crescent Moon' focus on the love in a mother-child relationship and its

growth over the years as the child grows up. No wonder Tagore is an artist of rare lyrical powers, who acknowledges the human soul.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a renowned poet, musician, polymath, Ayurveda-researcher and an artist who recast music, Bengali literature and Indian art in the late 19th and early 20th century. Author of the "profoundly sensitive, revolutionary and beautiful

verse" of Gitanjali, he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in the year 1913. Rabindranath Tagore was also referred to as 'the Bard of Bengal'. His compositions "Jana Gana Mana" and "Amar Sonar Bangla" were embraced by two nations as their

national anthems respectively.
