Harano Thikana by Krishna Basu [Hardcover]

'Lost Address' is a story of a lost era in Akrit. The forgotten period of the past is seen through the eyes of a girl. Those who are midnight children, born at or shortly after independence, do not experience the bleakness of subjugation. So it is difficult to realize the true taste of freedom. In that midnight, when the Indian nation is on a historic convergence with destiny, the author crosses her childhood and steps into adulthood. Incidentally, he witnessed the first Independence Day in the capital of the country, Delhi. The brutal pain of partition is mixed with the joy of independence. The image of the city of Kolkata is changing with the seemingly trivial life of an ordinary girl growing up, the history of a nation is also moving forward at its own pace. The seat of English royalty, the suburbs sprawling south, foxes can be heard on Dover Lane. Amid famine, riots and riots, poets, artists, writers, musicians are building a cultural environment around Rasbihari Avenue. The author moves freely between the two time levels. Nitant saw the 'Quit India' movement as a child, and as an adult heard what happened at that time in Singapore from General Fujiara. During the trial of Azad Hind Fauz in Red Fort, frenzy across the country. To see those soldiers who created history, they rushed to Kolkata's park and Maidan. After many days, they are completely yours again, then you heard about those days from their mouths. By the hand of the writer, we also entered many lost addresses.
