"In this book, the author has clearly thrown light on the outstanding qualities of Tagore as a novelist. He has highlighted in 'Gora' how Tagore unites the East and the West for the better future of the world. The Indianness seen in Tagore is also given due weightage. In 'the Wreck', the author has clarified that Tagore has set the hero Ramesh in a web of fate; he cannot do anything as per his wish. In the end he gets free from this web of fate after doing his duty properly. As a whole, this book gives a detailed idea of Rabindranath Tagore as a novelist." (jacket)
