The paper is devoted to ``Ramanujan's first love'', infinite series. The authors investigate and generalize some characteristic infinite series identities, transformations and evaluations, appearing in Ramanujan's collected papers and notebooks. First, some series related to Riemann's zeta-function and allied functions are re-examined and generalized. The basic idea is to write appropriate (and manageable) integral representations. Also, a partial fraction decomposition is used to obtain a seemingly new expression for \(\zeta(2n+1)\), \(n\) being a positive integer. Further, the paper contains a simple proof of an identity involving two infinite series, by means of the Poisson summation formula. Finally, four remarkable Lambert series are revised and other results of a similar nature are derived.
