Panchti Upanyas by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

The first two novels are filled with tight suspense and science fiction, where other worlds and different times transport the reader. The next three novels, however, delve deeply into the heart’s understanding; they are poignant portrayals of the love, endurance, and struggles between men and women, and families in both urban and rural life. In the words of the thoughtful storyteller Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay: "This anthology contains five of my major works. Three of them are novels: Noyonshyama, Chhayamoyi, and Deshantori. Tīn Hazar Duike could probably be called a novella... These were written in my youth. So, each one reflects the thoughts and perspectives of a particular age. I present these five works with five different thoughts and perspectives. The acceptance or rejection is up to the reader." We believe the reader will accept them.
