One of BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World. Heart-rending and
darkly comic, V. S. Naipaul's A House for Mr Biswas has been hailed
as one of the twentieth century's finest novels, a classic that
evokes a man's quest for autonomy against the backdrop of
post-colonial Trinidad. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library,
a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with
gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make
perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features
an introduction by writer Teju Cole. Mr Biswas has been told since
the day of his birth that misfortune will follow him - and so it
has. Meaning only to avoid punishment, he causes the death of his
father and the dissolution of his family. Wanting simply to flirt
with a beautiful woman, he ends up marrying her. But in spite of
endless setbacks, Mr Biswas is determined to achieve independence,
and so he begins the gruelling struggle to buy a home of his own.
