This literary giant\u0026amp;#x27;s writings have inspired millions of readers for generations. \u003ci\u003eThe Heart of God\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautiful collection of 102 poems that explores life\u0026amp;#x27;s many mysteries, including the joy of love, the beauty of nature, and the inevitability of death. Representing Tagore\u0026amp;#x27;s \u0026amp;#x27;simple prayers of common life\u0026amp;#x27;, each poem is an eloquent affirmation of the divine in the face of both joy and sorrow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTagore was born into a wealthy family in the Bengali city of Calcutta during British colonial rule. Immensely talented, he would become a distinguished writer, educator, playwright, composer, social reformer, and philosopher. As a poet, Tagore is a master, having been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 - the first non-European to be given this honour. Along with Mahatma Gandhi, Tagore is considered to be the foremost intellectual and spiritual advocate for India\u0026amp;#x27;s liberation from imperial rule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally compiled by Rev. Herbert Vetter, this expanded edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Heart of God\u003c\/i\u003e includes 25 additional poems and a foreword by Tagore scholar Bashabi Fraser, who describes the profound wisdom of Tagore\u0026amp;#x27;s writings and the lasting importance of this beautiful collection, along with a moving Preface by Nobel Peace Prize recipient Albert Schweitzer.
