This book was the first in series of books written by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyaya and published in 1913. Surendra, despite being born in a rich family, runs away from home to Kolkata. Loss of identity in a strange unknown place and severe financial crunch leads him to beg for survival. He finally seeks shelter as a teacher in a zamindar’s house, where the zamindar’s daughter is a young widow. It was an era when society looked down upon widows and exploited and mistreated them. They had to live a life of an ascetic, bereft of normal wants or pleasures. An unspoken emotional bond develops between the widow ‘Borodidi’ and Surendra. These emotions, innocence, and love transcend all physical barriers and is palpable in the author’s writings, even after a hundred years have lapsed.

Nobel Prize-winning author Rabindranath Tagore’s most ambitious work Gora unfolds against the vast, dynamic backdrop of Bengal under British rule, a divided society struggling to envisage an emerging nation. It is an epic saga of India’s nationalist awakening, viewed through the eyes of one young man, an orthodox Hindu who defines himself against the British colonialist culture and finds himself approaching his nationalist identity through the prism of organized religion. First published in 1907, Gora questions the dogmas and presuppositions inherent in nationalist thought like few books have dared to do. This new, lucid and vibrant translation brings the complete and unabridged text of the classic to a new generation of readers, underlining its contemporary relevance.
