ABOUT THE BOOK

Manik Bandopadhyay Galpa Samagra (The Collected Short Stories) is a monumental two-volume set that brings together the shorter fiction of one of the "Big Three" (Advaita Malla Barman and Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay being the others) of post-Tagore Bengali literature. Manik Bandopadhyay (1908–1956) was a radical departure from the romanticism of his predecessors, introducing Freudian psychoanalysis and Marxist dialectics into the Bengali short story.

This set is essential for anyone wishing to understand the evolution of the modern Bengali mind, as it documents the transition from rural feudalism to urban industrial struggle.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Manik was a writer of "uncomfortable truths." He shifted the focus of literature from the drawing rooms of the elite to the muddy riverbanks of fishermen, the cramped quarters of the working class, and the dark recesses of the human subconscious.
