Baaghbaan / The Gardener marks the irresistible coming together of two giants of poetry: Rabindranath Tagore and Gulzar. Drawing on some of Tagore's most well-known poetry collections - Chitra, Kshanika, Sonar Tari - Gulzar's translation provides a whole new insight to the Bard of Bengal. Including the original in Bengali and Tagore's own English translations of the same, this is a collector's edition. A must for all lovers of poetry and literature.
Gulzar (b. 1934) is one of India's leading poets; he has published several volumes of poetry and fiction (many of which are available in translation) and is also regarded as one of the country's finest writers for children. A greatly respected scriptwriter and film director, he has been one of the most popular lyricists in mainstream Hindi cinema, gaining international fame when he won an Oscar and a Grammy for the song 'Jai ho'. Gulzar received the Sahitya Akademi Award in 2002, the Padma Bhushan in 2004, and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2014.
He lives and works in Mumbai.
