Bindu Puri

Rabindranath Tagore (eBook, PDF)

Peace in an Enchanted World

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores Rabindranath Tagore's distinctive argument for peace - in spiritual rather than in political terms. Drawing on seminal texts by Tagore, the book presents the reader with a comprehensive overview of Gurudev's seemingly contradictory notions of individual freedom, universal love for humanity, and nationalism.
