Original Title: The Home and the World

Author: Rabindranath Tagore

Genres: Fiction, Cultural

Publisher: Madness Serial Publishing

File version: 1.0

Set on a Bengali noble's estate in 1908, The Home and The World 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 irreconcilable pressures of the home and world reflect the conflict in India itself, and the tragic outcome foreshadows the unrest that accompanied Partition in 1947.
