GITANJALI ..a collection of 103 English poems translated by him from the original Bengali , is a masterpiece which won him the Nobel Prize in 1913 .
These immensely touching verses were written in Bengali in 1910 , after he lost his father , wife , second daughter , and the youngest son. Gitanjali's canvas encompasses life's experiences with an innocense and simplicity that one does not find elsewhere in literature.
