The Crescent Moon  (English, Paperback, Tagore Rabindranath)

All of Tagore's poems are filled with a sensation of sublimity. This particular collection written primarily from the perspective of a child, explores the world of the adolescent and the things that fill it up. The relationship between a mother and her child is extensively explored and appears often among different poems. Tagore paints a beautiful nostalgic landscape for the reader where he/she can relive his.her own. A beautiful little book...

The bond between a mother and child is perhaps the most sacred of all human relations. The crescent moon is a collection of poems written in prose form and they engage and reinforce this very idea. The poems are short and are all written from a first person perspective with the narration alternating between the mother and the child. The poems are highly evocative and vivid and are a joy to read. Another masterpiece from the great polymath.
