The Home and the World

di Rabindranath Tagore (Autore)

New Generation Publishing, 2017

Rabindranath Tagore Set on a Bengali noble's estate in 1908, this is both a love story and a novel of political awakening. The central character, Bimala, is torn between the duties owed to her husband, Nikhil, and the demands made on her by the radical leader, Sandip. Her attempts to resolve the irreconciliable pressures of the home and world reflect the conflict in India itself, and the tragic outcome foreshadows the unrest that accompanied Partition in 1947. This edition includes an introduction by Anita Desai. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
