5.0 out of 5 stars I Won't Let Him Go, September 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: I Won't Let You Go (Paperback)

A concise report of Tagore's life precedes what can be considered, altogether with Radice's, the most beautifully rendered translations of Tagore by someone else than himself. Don't let this book go neither... God: preserve the translator's life and competence as long as You did for the original author.
