Sukumar Sahitya Samagra 2 by Sukumar Ray [Hardcover]

Sukumar Ray's plays hold an enduring place in the hearts of Bengali-speaking readers and audiences. When the second volume of the Sukumar Sahitya-Samagra was published in 1975, it included all of Ray’s plays, along with musical notations for the songs from Jhalapala and Lakshmaner Shaktishel. In the present birth centenary edition, which is now divided into three volumes, his three plays for adults have been moved from the second to the third volume, as this third volume primarily focuses on collections intended for adult readers.

In this new edition, many works from previous editions have been revised based on manuscripts or their first published versions. Additionally, this volume includes intriguing biographies of eminent personalities, fascinating essays on animals, and numerous articles on science and knowledge. There is also a special collection of Sukumar Ray's earliest writings, including his first two poems, his first prose work, and an unfinished poetic translation of the Mahabharata.
