Produktbeschreibung
Back Home in a Coffin is a powerful novel about migration, loss, and the fight to reclaim dignity at home.

In a rural Nepali village caught between political change and economic desperation, Prakash drifts through life with no clear future. When his closest friend, Rabin, leaves for Qatar to escape debt and support his family, hope briefly takes flight. Months later, Rabin returns in a sealed coffin-worked to death under brutal conditions abroad.

Shattered by grief and guilt, Prakash is forced to confront the system that drives young men to risk their lives for survival. His search for answers pulls him into a web of corrupt labor brokers, empty political promises, and families left broken by loss. Along the way, he finds unexpected allies-a disabled beekeeper building local alternatives, a determined lawyer fighting for compensation, and villagers refusing to accept silence.

Both an intimate coming-of-age story and a searing indictment of global labor exploitation, Back Home in a Coffin is a moving portrait of community resilience. It asks a haunting question faced by millions: when survival demands leaving home, what does it truly cost-and who pays the price?

Autorenporträt
Bed Prasad Uprety is a Nepali novelist and critic whose writing grows out of long immersion in both local and transnational life. Born and raised in Nepal, he earned an MA in English Literature in India and later studied management in Europe. Uprety taught at the university level , a role that expanded his interests in cultural identity, pedagogy, and the politics of belonging.
He spent many years living in Bhaktapur alongside the Newar community; those daily experiencesritual, craft, and communal rhythmsare central to his scenes and characters. Uprety has also pursued studies in meditation and spiritual practice under various teachers, which lends his fiction a persistent tension between material survival and spiritual yearning. Informed by long stays across Nepal, India, Europe, and China, his work combines empathetic, lived detail with critical distance, exploring Nepal's social issues through stories of ordinary people negotiating change, memory, and meaning.
He lives in Nepal and continues to write about the complexities of tradition, modernity, and inner life.
