Panchashti Galpa by Selina Hossein [Hardcover]

The short story is a unique treasure of Bengali literature, a remarkable world of Bengali storytelling. It is like countless dewdrops holding the entire sky within them. In the numerous short stories of the renowned author Selina Hossain, life is present in each drop. This life is sometimes hunger-stricken, sometimes relationship-driven, sometimes tinged with history, and at times, deeply melancholic. Her language intensifies according to the theme—angry in the face of deprivation and suffering, yet raw and unadorned when depicting the lives of those on the margins. In the language of her mystical insight, there is a subtle infusion of poetry. Selina Hossain's "Panchashati Golpo" (Fifty Stories) has been published. These deeply penetrating stories, rich in artistic quality and social commitment, are unparalleled in their ability to captivate readers.
