The Home and the World is a 1916 novel by Rabindranath Tagore. The book illustrates the battle Tagore had with himself, between the ideas of Western culture and revolution against the Western culture. These two ideas are portrayed in two of the main characters, Nikhilesh, who is rational and opposes violence, and Sandip, who will let nothing stand in his way from reaching his goals. These two opposing ideals are very important in understanding the history of the Bengal region and its contemporary problems.There is much controversy over whether or not Tagore was attempting to represent Gandhi with Sandip. This is owing to Gyorgy Lukacss 1922 review of the novel in the Berlin periodical, Die rote Fahne (that is typically translated into English as Tagores Gandhi Novel) where he makes this mistaken suggestion. The novel could not have been based on Gandhi as it was published in 1916 (and written before) when Gandhi had just moved to India from South Africa (1915) and was not a known political figure. Gandhi gained political prominence in India in the context of the Khilafat movement of 1919, which was long after the novels publication, and took over the leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1920.The novel was translated into English by the authors nephew, Surendranath Tagore, with input from the author, in 1919Worlds Classics Deluxe EditionThis book and other Worlds Classics Deluxe Edition are frequently included among the great literature of the 20th century, including the Modern Library 100 Best Novels, The Observers, BBCs and The Telegraphs 100 Greatest Novels of All Time, and The Guardians 1000 novels everyone must read.iBoo Press House uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work.
