Gitanjali

Rabindranath Tagore

Gitanjali is a collection of 103 poems in English, largely translations by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. This volume became very famous in the West, and was widely translated into other languages. In England a slender volume was published in 1913, with an exhilarating preface by W. B. Yeats. In the same year, Rabindranath became the first non-European to win the Nobel prize. (summary by Hilara)"On many an idle day have I grieved over lost time. But it is never lost, my lord. Thou hast taken every moment of my life in thine own hands.Hidden in the heart of things thou art nourishing seeds into sprouts, buds into blossoms, and ripening flowers into fruitfulness.I was tired and sleeping on my idle bed and imagined all work had ceased. In the morning I woke up and found my garden full with wonders of flowers." 81, Gitanjali

One Year

H. Pearce

Approaching forty, Sophie is dealt a double blow. Already facing a life-altering diagnosis—cancer, a ticking time bomb that allows her only a year left to live—her decade-long marriage abruptly ends. 
Just as the prospect of navigating her journey alone and the grip of despair seems to take hold, fate intervenes unexpectedly. In what is slated to be her last chemotherapy session, Sophie crosses paths with Lily, a vivacious young girl with an equally grim prognosis. 
Together, they forge the most unlikely of friendships and find themselves on a life-changing journey. Their mission: to locate the man who might serve as the saviour Lily desperately needs. 
One Year is a touching story that celebrates the power of friendship, hope and the extraordinary capacity of the human heart to find joy and meaning even in the most challenging circumstances.
