Description

The Home and the World is a novel by Rabindranath Tagore. It tells the story of class, death, and empire over the course of one lifetime. It intertwines reflections on modernity with memories of life in pre-colonial Bengal. The protagonist, Nikhil, is born to a family of landowners in an agricultural society, but as he matures and his consciousness expands he sees that this complacent world is coming to an end.

Author

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) wrote Gitanjali and made a world listen to Bengal. Poet, songwriter, playwright, and founder of Santiniketan, he was the first non-European Nobel laureate in literature. The English Gitanjali is a doorway; the Bengali work is a city. He composed songs that became national anthems and argued, politely and without pause, for a modern India that could still sing. Fourteen titles here.
