Lover's Gift and Crossing is a collection of two novellas written by Sir Rabindranath Tagore, a renowned Bengali poet, philosopher, and Nobel laureate. The first novella, Lover's Gift, tells the story of a young man named Gora who falls in love with a beautiful courtesan named Champa. Despite the social and cultural barriers that separate them, Gora is determined to win Champa's heart and marry her. The novella explores themes of love, desire, and social inequality.The second novella, Crossing, follows the journey of a young man named Nandalal who leaves his village to pursue his education in Calcutta. Along the way, he meets a variety of people from different social classes and backgrounds, including a wealthy businessman, a poor farmer, and a group of traveling musicians. Through his encounters, Nandalal learns about the complexities of life and the importance of staying true to oneself.Tagore's writing is known for its lyrical beauty and philosophical depth, and this collection is no exception. Lover's Gift and Crossing offer a poignant exploration of love, society, and the human condition, and are a must-read for fans of Tagore's work and anyone interested in Indian literature and culture.1918. Two lovely mystical works of prose by this prolific author: Lover's Gift and the second work being Crossing. It is again the poet of Gitanjali that speaks in this book; an artist of rare lyrical powers, who understands the human soul. Tagore's poems are devotions, mystical, sublimated ecstasy. They are the thoughts of a seer, the perfect union of beauty and truth in poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
