The Fugitive

The Fugitive by Rabindranath Tagore is a classic Indian fiction novel. "This forest has been a second mother to me, for here I have been born again. My love for it shall never dwindle." Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 - 7 August 1941), [b] sobriquet Gurudev, [c] was a Bengali polymath from the Indian subcontinent, who was a poet, musician and artist; he reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he became in 1913 the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. He is sometimes referred to as "the Bard of Bengal".
