Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Home and the World" by Rabindranath Tagore is a novel published in 1916. Set against India's independence movement, it explores the clash between Western ideals and traditional values through a fraught love triangle. Bimala, a devoted wife, finds herself torn between her rational, peace-loving husband Nikhilesh and his charismatic guest Sandip, a revolutionary who stops at nothing to achieve his nationalist goals. As political upheaval sweeps through Bengal, Bimala's awakening forces her to navigate between domestic duty and the intoxicating pull of radical change.
