This is a selection of fifteen short stories, and an extract from a novel, by the iconic Bengali writer Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay. An eclectic mix of stories pertaining to the natural world and the supernatural, they straddle his two abiding concerns-Man and Nature. Some depict urban and mofussil life in big cities like Calcutta; others, set in remote pockets of rural Bengal and tribal areas bordering Jharkhand and Bihar, depict the unadorned, rustic ways of life there, testament to Bibhutibhushan s boundless love for India s forests. The modern Bengali ghost story has flourished since the late nineteenth century. Bibhutibhushan, a prominent writer of this genre, draws upon the venerable tradition of haunted house stories, to which he adds tales of haunted or accursed objects, insanity, guardian spirits, and also lycanthropy, rare in Bengali literary fiction. Deeply religious-though not in any conventional sense-and possessed of a profound curiosity about all things living and otherwise, Bibhutibhushan appears to have believed in life after death. But he is also a writer who celebrates life itself, in all its aspects, with a catholicity of vision and a prodigious empathy, especially for those on its very margins. Each story in this collection, eerie or not, carries the indelible Bibhutibhushan trademark, of being unforgettable once read. Debashish Sen s translations bring to life Bibhutibhushan s fictional worlds with as much felicity to his craft as a deep understanding and knowledge of the writer s worldview. This volume is a must-read, especially for readers outside Bengal unfamiliar with the magic of one of Bengal s most-loved and legendary writers.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Tagore's Chaturanga (Quartet) is a short novella set in 19th century Bengal. The philosophical questions which are raised in the course of the story make this one of his most complex and metaphorical works. A social novel centred on four characters, it raises pointed questions about religion and atheism, dabbling in the complex hues of the man-woman relationship. Published in 1916, this novel is considered a landmark in Bengali literature. The story revolves around the four pivotal characters with just one woman in the midst of three males. And the protagonist Sachisthe most tormented soulis torn between natural human longings and a forced imposition of spiritual emancipation. It is a struggle between the form and the formless. Subtle psychological interpretations of the minds of the characters lead relationships from the physical to the mystical and draw the reader to look beyond the apparent, deeper into the workings of the human mind. Quartet, the present translation of Chaturanga, lends a contemporary flavour to the novel. It successfully brings out Tagore's profound understanding of the human subconscious, without sacrificing the underlying playfulness in the language and the unique style of the original work.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Travels formed an integral part of the personae and creative artist that was Rabindranath Tagore. During his travels to England and the USA (1912-13 and 1920) Tagore wrote essays for publication in various Bengali journals. In 1939, Tagore selected fourteen of these essays and an appendix containing seven letters he had written to some of the teachers in the Shantiniketan ashram while he was on these trips, for publication as a volume. Tagore rewrote the original essays then using the colloquial instead of the formal language; he also revised the texts substantially. Later editions altered the number of essays, sometimes digressing from Tagore's own selection, sometimes going back to Tagore's original formal language. The travelogue provides an insight into Tagore's perception of the different facets of western life and the diverse philosophical issues that cross his mind as he journeys from one continent to another. Translated from Bengali for the first time, Pather Sanchoy would be of interest to all those who enjoy exploring unknown territories geographically and psychologically.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Krishna Bose was born Krishna Chaudhuri on 26 December 1930 in Dhaka, to East Bengali parents settled in Calcutta. In December 1955 she married Sisir Kumar Bose, son of the barrister and nationalist leader Sarat Chandra Bose and nephew of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. She is a multifaceted personality-a professor, writer, researcher, broadcaster, social worker and politician. Lost Addresses is Krishna's story of her childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. It vividly describes Calcutta, Bengal and India in the 1930s and 1940s and the early years after Independence. Krishna's memories of growing up and coming of age are set in the social, cultural and political milieus of the time. The East Bengal heritage and the life of the Calcutta intelligentsia at its prime feature prominently, but this is no private nor provincial memoir. India and the world were then in great ferment and transition. Krishna re-lives how she experienced World War II, the Quit India movement of 1942, the Bengal famine of 1943-44, the Red Fort trials of the Indian National Army (INA) officers in 1945-46, the Great Calcutta killings of 1946, and Partition and Independence in Delhi in 1947. Illustrated with old photographs, this memoir is a valuable historical record, told in flowing literary style.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. It is not possible to surmise when exactly Tagore started writing Jibonsmriti(My Reminiscences). It is generally believed that after the publication of the play Raja (King, 1910), he was going through the first draft of Jibonsmriti. Jibonsmriti, was translated into English by Tagore's nephew, Surendranath Tagore, though retouched and slightly changed by Rabindranath himself. It was serialised in RamanandaChattopadhyay's The Modern Review under the title My Reminiscences from January to December, 1916. To thwart the attempt by any foreign publisher to publish it, all the issues of The Modern Review carried the declaration, 'All Rights Reserved. Copyrighted in the United States of America'. Interestingly, Rabindranath himself advised Ramananda Chattopadhyay to mail one copy each of the issues of The Modern Review carrying My Reminiscences to W. B. Yeats and Ernest Rhys. In April, 1917, it was published as a book by MacMillan, New York, with a colour portrait by Sasi Kumar Hesh as the frontispiece, apart from 12 paintings by GagnendranathTagore. This book Rabindranath has etched in words many of his primary experiences about his future poetry, plays and novels. A surging passion for being one with Nature, a sense of imagination-filled solitariness even in the midst of a crowd, a consciousness of the concrete and yet non-recognition of its weightall these aspects of the book inform his later creations. In that sense, My Reminiscences can be called an introduction to the entire Tagorean canon.

Hardcover. Condizione: New New. Kena Upanisad is the first volume of our Shri Anirvan Upanisad Series. It is the English translation of the third volume of the Upanisad Prasanga Series, written in Bangla by Shri Anirvan and published by the Burdwan University. Kena Upanisad consists of the four sections of the fourth chapter of the Jaiminiya Brahmana Upanisad of the Samaveda. It begins directly with Brahman as its subject matter and tell us in first two parts how it is impossible to know or attain Brahman by our ordinary senses including mind. To realize Brahman we have to open ourselves to higher intuitive levels of mind. In the third and fourth parts, the Upanisad beautifully speaks about the unknowable Brahman and about the subjective and objective ways of its realisation through an allegorical story about Gods led by Indra on one side and Yaksha and Uma Haimvati on the other. Brahman has to be meditated upon and realized as 'Tad Vanam' - 'That most Delightful Dear One'. Page Extent: 246.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Ritwik Ghatak perhaps remains the most celebrated auteur of Partition narratives-not only has he completed eight masterly feature films before his premature death, his brilliance and eccentrics also got reflected as a film-theorist, critic, author and a theatre writer-practitioner. In this collection of plays, his writings specifically act as a cultural sign bearing the remnants of one catastrophic history-the Partition of Bengal. Ritwik details the visual and aural realization of a fragmented Bengal in such a socio-political and cultural milieu of Indian history where we can trace both dystopian and utopian features. Plays like Dalil (translated as Charter), Sanko (translated as Communications) and few more are narratives that focus on the post-Independence socio-historical observations of the Indian subcontinent with a sustained critique of the impact of Partition and functioning of political malpractices in the lives of the refugees from East Bengal. Drawing from various sources, as disparate as folk music and Indian classical music, folk theatre as well as Indian classical dramaturgy, the Vedas, the Upanishads and mythology-Ritwik has portrayed the tragic predicament of the innumerable, hapless immigrants amalgamating the cultural richness with the social reality of that time.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. This book is a commentary on the 1944 book Panchasher Manwantar by Syama Prasad Mookerjee, a political stalwart of the time. In his book, Syama Prasad argues that the famine of 1943-44 that is said to have caused the death and displacement of three million people, tearing apart Bengal s social and economic fabric, was a man-made disaster. The acute food shortage was deliberately created by the Churchill government to punish a rebellious, militant Bengal. The colonial government adopted a scorched-earth policy, burned the boats that carried grain, promulgated an anti-hoarding act that prevented farmers and householders from keeping even small buffer stocks, while hoarding by private lobbies was allowed resulting in huge price rise. This policy was actively supported by the communal practices of the local Muslim League government. Translator Sudip Kar Purkayastha believes this to be a deliberately crafted and ruthlessly implemented policy that resulted in a GENOCIDE of Bengalis and notes that its perpetrators have not yet been called to account.

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. "Set against the backdrop of the partition of Bengal by the British in 1905, Home and the World (Ghare Baire) is the story of a young liberal-minded Zamindar Nikhilesh, his educated and sensitive wife Bimala, and Nikhilesh's friend Sandip, a charismatic nationalist leader whom Bimala finds herself attracted to. A perceptive exposition of the difficulties surrounding women's emancipation in pre-modern India, and a telling portrayal of the chasms inherent in the nationalist movement, Home and the World has generated endless debate and discussion. This classic novel by Nobel Prize--winner Rabindranath Tagore, first published in Bengali in 1916, is now available in a lucid new translation.".

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. Rabindranath Tagore wrote He (Shey) to satisfy his nine-year-old granddaughter's incessant demands for stories. Even as Tagore began to create his grand fantasy, he planned a story that had no end, and to keep the tales spinning he employed the help of 'Shey' (He), a 'man constituted entirely of words' and rather talented at concocting tall tales. So we enter the delightful world of Shey's extraordinary adventures. In it we encounter a bizarre cast of characters (the ganja-addict Patu whose body He inhabits after losing his own in a pond, a misdirected jackal who aspires to be human, the snuff-sniffing scientists of Hoonhau Island and the New Age poets of the Hoi! Hoi! Polloi Club dedicated to the cause of tunelessness); grotesque creatures like the Gandishandung and Bell-ears; comic caricatures of contemporary figures and events, as well as mythological heroes and deities--all brought to life through a sparkling play of words and illustrations in Tagore's unique style. In this first-ever complete translation of Shey, including Tagore's delightful nonsense verse, Aparna Chaudhuri brilliantly captures the spirit and flavour of the original.".
