Gora (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162946016)

Gora is a novel written by Rabindranath Tagore, a renowned Bengali author and Nobel laureate. The story revolves around the life of a young man named Gora, who is raised as an orthodox Hindu but later becomes an advocate of social reform and equality. Gora's journey is one of self-discovery and spiritual awakening, as he grapples with questions of identity, religion, and social justice.The novel is set in late 19th-century Bengal, during the British colonial period, and explores the tensions and conflicts between traditional Indian values and modern Western ideas. Gora's encounters with various characters from different social and religious backgrounds, including a Christian missionary, a Muslim reformer, and a group of revolutionary nationalists, challenge his beliefs and force him to confront the complexities of his own identity.Throughout the novel, Tagore weaves together themes of love, friendship, politics, and spirituality, creating a rich and nuanced portrait of Indian society at a time of great change. Gora is a timeless masterpiece of Bengali literature that continues to resonate with readers around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
