Jibon Theke Jibone by Shankarlal Bhattacharya [Hardcover]

A modern autobiography immersed in the essence of a novel, the allure of history, and the profound depth of philosophy. Captured like a painting, sung like a melody—this book is a remarkable addition to Bengali literature.

The author was born on August 15, 1947. From childhood memories of seeing his father’s friends—Satyendra Nath Bose, Krishna Chandra Dey, and Syama Prasad Mukherjee—to the early days at Narendrapur Mission, this autobiography unfolds as a continuous journey of life.

Throughout the narrative, various personalities enter the author’s life story in different contexts and perspectives—Manabendra Mukhopadhyay, Dhananjay Bhattacharya, Hemanta Mukhopadhyay, Chuni Goswami, Suchitra Sen, Geeta Dutt, Uttam Kumar, Swami Vivekananda, Sister Nivedita, Sunil Gangopadhyay, Shibram Chakraborty, Olivier, Yeats, Shakespeare, and many more—each of whom has profoundly influenced the author’s worldview and enriched his way of life.

Thus, this autobiography, Jibon Theke Jibone (From Life to Life), is truly unputdownable—once you start, you won’t be able to stop reading until the very end!
