De què tracta
La novel·la de Tagore sobre un jove hindú ortodox i militant que descobreix, al final, que va néixer irlandès i el van criar com a bengalí durant la revolta del 1857.
Context i història
Publicada en bengalí el 1910. La revelació final no és un cop d'efecte: és l'argument, perquè desmunta des de dins la idea d'una identitat de naixement que Gora ha defensat durant tot el llibre. Tagore hi discuteix alhora amb el nacionalisme hindú i amb el reformisme del Brahmo Samaj, sense donar la raó del tot a cap. Aquesta versió és una traducció anglesa; per citar Tagore, l'original és el bengalí.

The sound o Ins voice was so deep and rough that you would be starded if you suddenly heard him call out, “ Who is there ? ’ Hi* face seemed need-./ lessly large and excessively strong, the bones of his jaws and chi/ being like the massive bolts of a fortress. He had practically no eyebrows, his forehead sloping broadly to the ears. His lips were thin and compressed Ins nose projecting over them like a sword. His eyes, small but keen, seemed to be aimed at some unseen distant object like the point of an arrow, yet able to turn in a flash to strike something near at hand. Gourmohan was not exactly good-looking, but it was impossible to overlook him, for he would have been conspicuous
