Among the different Rabindranath Tagore Books, Gitanjali became internationally popular for its rhythmic poetry. In 1913, Tagore also won the Nobel Prize in Literature for this book.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Home_and_The_World\"><\/span><strong>The Home and The World<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set in the years of Indian independence, The Home and The World is a novel which originally named Ghare Baire in Bengali.
