«Una casa para el señor Biswas» is the novel by V. S. Naipaul, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (571 pages, in Spanish).
Mohun Biswas, an Indo-Trinidadian born under an ill omen, seeks independence all his life. Married, he becomes trapped by the large and domineering Tulsi family; to break free, he tries various trades and saves to buy his own house. With black humor and emotion, the novel narrates his struggle for dignity in colonial Trinidad.
The English original was published in 1961 under the title 'A House for Mr. Biswas'; this Spanish edition is from 2001.
It is a work for readers of classic narrative and twentieth-century literary fiction, interested in stories about identity and emancipation.
Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul was a Trinidad and Tobago-born British writer renowned for his works of fiction and nonfiction in English. He is known for his comic early novels set in Trinidad, his bleaker novels of alienation in the wider world, and his vigilant chronicles of life and travels. He wrote in prose that was widely admired, but his views sometimes aroused controversy. He published more than thirty books over fifty years.
