Description
Set on a Bengali noble's estate in 1908, The Home and the World is a poignant love story and a novel of political awakening. The central character, Bimala, is torn between her duties to her husband and the demands made on her by a radical leader, leading to a tragic outcome that foreshadows the unrest of Partition in 1947. This novel reflects the conflict in India itself, as Bimala's attempts to resolve the pressures of her home and world are mirrored in the country's own struggle for independence. With its powerful themes and historical significance, The Home and the World is a thought-provoking read that explores the complexities of love, duty, and social change. Published by Penguin Classics, a leading publisher of classic literature, this edition features an introduction and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as an up-to-date translation by an award-winning translator.
