Fireflies consists of 256 epigrams and short verses and shares structural similarity with Tagore`s other notable epigrammatic collection of poems, Stray Birds. These poems resemble the sayings of a wise man rather than poetry. The brevity and crispness of these verses combined with the wit & wisdom contained in them make these poems extremely delightful and reader friendly.One of India`s most cherished renaissance figures, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) put India on the literary map of the world when his Gitanjali was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. Myriad-minded, he was a poet, short story writer, novelist, dramatist, essayist, painter and composer of songs. His worldwide acclaim as a social, political, religious and aesthetic thinker, innovator in education and a champion of the `One World` idea makes him a living presence.ISBN - 9788171676958
