A few pages with small stain and some browning to the paper along edges, as usual. Tiny repair at very top of a few pages. First edition in English. Dedicated to W.B. Yeats. The Gardener, originally written in Bengali, is a book of love poems. According to the preface by Tagore: "Most of the lyrics of love and life, the translations of which from Bengali are published in this book, were written much earlier than the series of religious poems contained in the book named Gitanjali. The translations are not always literal - the originals being sometimes abridged and sometimes paraphrased." Rabindranath Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 as the first Asian recipient. He has been considered to be the greatest writer in modern Indian literature.
