1. Revulsion
"Revulsion" is a psychological novel that delves into the depths of human emotions and societal norms. The story revolves around a protagonist who returns to his native country after a long absence, only to find himself deeply disturbed by the moral decay and hypocrisy he observes in the people around him. As he grapples with his own feelings of disgust and alienation, the novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle to maintain personal integrity in the face of overwhelming social pressure. The narrative is a poignant critique of the human condition and the often-unseen forces that shape our lives and relationships.
