Naipaul's unforgettable third novel. Born the \"wrong way\" and thrust into a world that greeted him with little more than a bad omen, Mohun Biswas has spent his 46 years of life striving for independence. But his determined efforts have met only with calamity. Shuttled from one residence to another after the drowning of his father, Mr Biswas yearns for a place he can call home. He marries into the domineering Tulsi family, on whom he becomes indignantly dependent, but rebels and takes on a succession of occupations in an arduous struggle to weaken their hold over him and purchase a house of his own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHeartrending and darkly comic, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA House for Mr Biswas\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e masterfully evokes a man's quest for autonomy against the backdrop of post-colonial Trinidad.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'A marvellous prose epic that matches the best 19th century novels' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clapping Pages","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45158214926522,"sku":"2STBK4B29-Used","price":19.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5576\/0826\/files\/A1k90a5HVzL.jpg?v=1758071162","url":"https:\/\/clappingpages.com\/products\/a-house-for-mr-biswas-2","provider":"Clapping Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
