The Home and the World Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

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.

Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.

The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades.

The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff.

Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
