About this listen

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941), affectionately known as Gurudev, was a transformative Bengali poet, visual artist, playwright, novelist, and composer who profoundly influenced Bengali literature and music during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He made history as Asia’s first Nobel laureate, receiving the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Home and the World, a novel published in 1916, unfolds against the backdrop of the affluent estate of Nikhil, a content nobleman who shares a blissful life with his beautiful wife, Bimala. Their serene existence is disrupted by the arrival of Sandip, a fervent and revolutionary friend whose passionate nature starkly contrasts with Nikhils peaceful demeanor. As Sandip captivates the naive Bimala, a compelling love triangle emerges, challenging the boundaries of love, loyalty, and ideology. (Summary from Wikipedia)
