রমাপদ চৌধুরী রচিত উপন্যাস সমগ্র ৪

"Your subject matter, the orderliness of the structure, the craftsmanship, the clarity and smooth flow of the language, and your respect and belief in the values of life—all these you have woven together with immense skill. I have read many of your works; in fact, I am one of your devoted readers. However, I have not read such a gentle, clear, and vibrant story-novel like this one in a long time..." — Nihar Ranjan Roy, who wrote this from New Delhi on April 22, 1977.

Another renowned senior, Ramapad Chowdhury, humorously wrote about him: "A writer who does not write." If we forget the fourteen novels of Bankimchandra and the twenty novels of Sharatchandra, we must admit that he truly is a "writer who does not write." But the curious thing is, one cannot ignore a single novel by Ramapad Chowdhury. He, who once wrote Lalbai or Ekhoni, Je Kothay Danriye or Dweep-er Naam Tiarang, later produced works like Kharij or Bij, Abhimanyu or Bahirir, and Shesh-er Seemana. No other writer has displayed such a diversity of topics, and none has reached such profound depths.

This fourth volume of Upanyas Samagra (Complete Novels) includes five unforgettable novels by Ramapad Chowdhury. Among them is his iconic novel Bonpalashir Podabali — a work that has already earned its place in classic literature. Also included are Chhad and Bahiri, which, upon publication, startled readers. Additionally, there is the highly praised Daag and the much-acclaimed novel Ashray.
