On The Edges of Time (হার্ডকভার)

The book is described as a ‘tapestry’ of reminiscences that captures the vibrant intellectual and artistic atmosphere of Bengal between the 1880s and 1920s. While the author—Rabindranath Tagore's son—intended to provide intimate glimpses of his father’s personality, the work's true strength lies in its portrayal of the Tagore family’s unique milieu, characterized by aristocratic privilege, a profound devotion to the arts, and an active engagement in social and political affairs. Despite containing some disconnected or minor anecdotes, the book offers valuable insights into the family’s history, including the poet’s time on the houseboat Padma, the development of Santiniketan, and the Tagores' influence on both Indian and Western history.
