Bilingual Classics is a bilingual book series featuring classic literature from the most famous authors in the world.
The Crescent Moon was original from Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941), a Bengali poet, novelist, musician, painter and playwright who reshaped Bengali literature and music. He became Asia's first Nobel laureate when he won the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature.
In these prose poems, Tagore captures a feeling of joy and delight in the simplest pleasures of everyday living, like watching a baby sleep or children playing at the seashore. His words are fresh and inspiring, and are sure to please parents and grandparents alike.
Tagore's poetry in translation was viewed as spiritual, and this together with his mesmerizing persona gave him a prophet-like aura in the west. His "elegant prose and magical poetry" still remain largely unknown outside the confines of Bengal.
Now you can enjoy this landmark of world literature in two languages. These selected poems are presented with English texts, as well Chinese translations, making it an excellent way for children to cultivate their bilingual language abilities. This volume has 186 pages.
