He was struck again and again by the wonder of being in his own house, the audacity of it : to walk in through his own front gate, to bar entry to whoever he wished, to close his doors and windows every night. Mr Biswas has been told since the day of his birth that misfortune will follow him - and so it has. Meaning only to avoid punishment, he causes the death of his father and the dissolution of his family. W. nting simply to flirt with a beautiful woman, he ends up married to her, and is promptly swallowed up by her domineering family. But in spite of endless setbacks, and no small amount of disrespect, Mr Biswas is determined to stand apart, to achieve independence, to own a house of his own. A House for Mr Biswas is Nobel Prize in Literature winner V. S. Naipaul´s unforgettable masterpiece. Heart-rending and very funny, it has been hailed as one of the twentieth century´s finest novels, a classic that evokes a man´s quest for autonomy against the backdrop of post-colonial Trinidad.
