STORIES FROM SARATCHANDRA

  • Format:

‘Some time ago, a sudden\n rumour spread across our region that unless three children were sacrificed,\n the railway bridge over Roopnarayan just could not be constructed. Two small\n boys had already been buried alive under one of the pillions and only one more\n needed to be caught...’ This book is a collection of twelve widely acclaimed\n short stories of Saratchandra Chattopadhyay, one of the doyens of Bengali\n literature. Divided into two sections, the first bunch of stories portray\n childhood in all its unburdened innocence while the latter section leads on\n to deeper sensibilities—the everyday experience of casteism, the lived\n reality of social hierarchy and the bonds of almost filial affection forged\n between man and animal that sustain both. Stories from Saratchandra shows\n Saratchandra’s keen eye as a social commentator, presenting a vivid picture\n of life in rural Bengal during the early twentieth century.
