Gora is a novel written by the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. The story revolves around the life of a young man named Gora, who is raised as an orthodox Hindu but later becomes a nationalist and a social reformer. Gora is a complex character who struggles to reconcile his traditional upbringing with his modern beliefs, and his journey is a reflection of the changing social and political landscape of India in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.The novel explores themes of identity, religion, nationalism, and social reform, and is set against the backdrop of the Bengal Renaissance, a period of cultural and intellectual awakening in Bengal. The story is also a love story, with Gora falling in love with a young woman named Lolita, who challenges his beliefs and forces him to confront his own prejudices.Throughout the novel, Tagore uses vivid descriptions and lyrical prose to bring the characters and settings to life, and the story is infused with his own philosophy of life and humanism. Gora is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today, and is considered one of the greatest works of Indian literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
