Book Reviews of The Home and the World (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: the classic triangle in orient style
Summary: 3 Stars
The story can be read as a prelude to Jim et Jules. Two man love the same women yet in a completely reversed way. The first (the husband) loves her by giving complete freedom. The second loves her as an idol. The woman is in a way forced to this idolation because of the freedom she had received.
The intelligent story can push the right buttons on human spirit to silence it. In an other perspective the book is a cry against nationalism.
