Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) wrote Shesher Kabita as a rejoinder to his detractors, who had proclaimed the demise of Tagore’s literary talent and the advent of a new era in Bengali literature. This exquisitely lyrical, yet sharply satirical novel narrates the complications that ensue when Amit, a dashing young poet of the anti-Tagore coterie in Kolkata, travels to Shillong, where he falls in love with Labanya, an intelligent and beautiful young woman with a passion for literature, especially the poety of Tagore.
