Read The Home and the World in full

The complete text of The Home and the World by Rabindranath Tagore on booknest — 12 chapters, free to read, with notes and narration.

Nikhil, an educated and temperate Bengali landowner, urges his wife Bimala to step out of the inner quarters where highborn women live secluded and see the world for herself. The first man she meets there is Sandip, leader of the Swadeshi agitation, eloquent, magnetic, and convinced that a noble end justifies any means. The three narrate in turn while, outside, the boycott of foreign goods slides from ideal into coercion and violence.
