Home And The World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163795194)

""Home and the World"" is a novel written by Judith Page Walker Rives. The story is set in India during the early 20th century, a time of great political and social change. The main character, Bimala, is a young woman who is married to a wealthy aristocrat named Nikhil. Nikhil is a modern, educated man who is deeply committed to the ideals of freedom and democracy. Bimala, on the other hand, is more traditional and conservative in her views.As the story unfolds, Bimala finds herself torn between her loyalty to her husband and her growing attraction to a charismatic revolutionary named Sandip. Sandip is a fiery nationalist who is fighting for India's independence from British rule. Bimala becomes increasingly drawn to Sandip's passion and his vision for a new India, but she also begins to question the methods he uses to achieve his goals.The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle for independence. It also delves into the complex relationships between men and women, and between different social classes. Through Bimala's journey, the reader is given a glimpse into the challenges and conflicts that India faced during this tumultuous period in its history.Overall, ""Home and the World"" is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in India's past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
