Apur Sangsar Samagra by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay & Taradas Bandyopadhyay [Hardcover]

The story of human beings never truly ends. Harihar's family story continues to move forward, and perhaps someone from the next generation will take on the responsibility of telling that story. At the end of Tritiyo Purush (The Third Person), there is a hint of this continuity. This book contains four stories written by both father and son, Bibhutibhushan and Taradas Bandyopadhyay: Pather Panchali, Aparajito, Kajol, and Tritiyo Purush. These individual books are available separately in the market. So, why publish them together?

In response to this question, Taradas Babu explained that for the past eight decades, Bengali readers have held great love and curiosity about the story of Apu and Durga. They wonder what happens to them in the end. What happens to Apu's son as he grows up? Does he marry and start his own family? If readers can find the answers to these questions within a single volume, it will undoubtedly bring them a sense of fulfillment and peace.
