Gora

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

Growing up in 1870s Calcutta, two childhood friends – the fiery, resolute Gora and the thoughtful, questioning Binoy – must navigate a society divided by faith, caste and political turmoil.

Gora, raised in an orthodox Hindu household, is fiercely loyal to tradition, while Binoy becomes increasingly drawn into a progressive circle whose warm and independent women challenge everything he thought he knew. As first love, family expectations and political loyalties collide, the friends find themselves pulled down opposing paths, and long-buried secrets force both young men to confront the truth of who they are and where they belong.

When Rabindranath Tagore completed Gora in 1910, he created not only a landmark of Indian literature but an intimate coming-of-age story set against the tremors of a nation in transformation. Devapriya Roy's major new translation revitalises Tagore into modern English, bringing to life Gora and Binoy’s unforgettable journey through identity, belief and belonging, and showing why this national epic still speaks so powerfully to readers today.
