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. 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. Part of the Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern literature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45675071078551,"sku":"9781529077193","price":488.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781529077193.webp?v=1769295488","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-house-for-mr-biswas-9781529077193","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
