Relation During Books Gora
Vast in its scope and rich in thought Gora has been acclaimed as a monumental work in the history of Bengali fiction. The story reflects the social, political and religious scene in Bengal at the turn of the century. The forces that were operating in Bengal at that time were one of the intense nationalism and revival of ancient spiritual values and also that of liberal western thought. What makes Gora a great prose epic is not only its social content but also its brilliant story of self-searching, of resolution, of conflicts and of self discovery.List Appertaining To Books Gora

Gora is one of the best novels I have ever read, and probably one of the most underrated and most ignored of all time. His wisdom gleams more than shards of glass and his dexterity in writing is incomparable. This book was written years back, still relevant and will be relevant in the future. The pressing topic of the book is avoided by most in a conversation, antagonized by many and reason of violence for a few, RELIGION. He
Born and brought up in Bengal , I have had the privilege of reading this book in the original Bengali and since then, it has secured a very special place in my heart . This book is all that we crave to be or at least ( at the risk of sounding like a moral police ) something we should crave to be . It is gargantuan in its expanse and length while in beauty ,it surpasses almost any piece of literature anywhere in the world save a handful . And it is a great treatise on how our minds work as well

Still let me try recording my impressions.This is the story of two Hindu Bengali friends - Gora and Binoy, and two Brambho Bengali sisters - Sucharita and Lalita.

I was not thrilled with this book. If I hadn't had to read it for school, I might have never finished it. While I love Tagore's poetry, it took approximately 150 pages for both the story to pick up and for me to start to care about the characters. By the end of the novel, I was deeply invested in it, but I can't say that a novel that takes so long to get into is good. It is a fascinating look at the politics of the time, but the beginning is so focused on setting the scene as well as introducing
