Description
Summary:[...]Prasanta Pal, one of the most important biographers of the poet, asserted in the ninth volume of Rabindranath's biography (Rabijiboni) that initially Rabindranath had planned to visit several Latin American countries including México, Perú and Argentina. [...]from the early 1920s the impact of Spanish America's contact with Rabindranath was visible in literature, apart from translations, underscoring how reception could lead to re-creation. [...]these comments revealed her reading of Rabindranath, and cropped up within that reading her own feelings of desolation and solitude. [...]Mistral did not cite any source at all, except the name and nationality of the poet/author. 16.
