Description

These letters, divided into several chapters, each with introductory notes by Andrews, have made the book not just a collection of letters but a well-knit coherent narrative. Many of these letters capture the genuine expression of Tagore's anxiety about modern civilization and political life in India.

Letters to a Friend consists of letters written to C F Andrews (1871-1940), Tagore's lifelong friend and follower, during the years 1913-22. It contains a preface as well as two introductory essays by Andrews himself. Andrews has given adequate information useful to the understanding of the context of the letters.
