Passion and politics intertwine in Char Adhyay (1934), Rabindranath
Tagore's last and perhaps most controversial novel, set in the
context of the freedom struggle in pre-Independent India. Ela, a
young working woman, comes under the spell of Indranath, a
charismatic political activist who advocates the path of terror.
She joins his band of underground rebels, vowing never to marry,
and to devote her life to the nation's cause. But through her
relationship with Atindra, a poet and romantic who grows
disenchanted after joining the group, Ela realizes the hollowness
of Indranath's machinations. The lovers now face a terrible choice.
This new translation of Char Adhyay brings Tagore's text to life in
contemporary idiom, while evoking the charged atmosphere of the
story's historical setting.
