25 Ti Praptamanaskader Galpa by Sunil Gangopadhyay [Hardcover]

Sunil Gangopadhyay had an unparalleled understanding of the inner world of mature adults. In the complex light and darkness of the subconscious, there is a constant oscillation of falls and slips; here, sin and virtue walk hand in hand. The eternal conflict between primal instincts and moral awareness plays out, where the seductive pull of biological urges compels individuals toward bizarre crimes or strange behaviors. Reading his short stories, one realizes how unpredictable and intense the outcomes can be in this forbidden territory of the mind.

In stories such as Hot Rice or Just a Ghost Story, Angel or the Penny of Barohat, Hunger, and The Mistress of Puri Express, Gangopadhyay explores the extreme realms of human greed, hunger, sexuality, and desire. These tales, crafted with impeccable artistic finesse, capture timeless truths that enthrall and dazzle readers, leaving them immersed in the richness of his storytelling.

This book presents a collection of unforgettable stories from Gangopadhyay’s world of mature themes, a collection whose allure remains vivid even after multiple readings—stories that captivate and deeply move the reader, resonating in the heart long afterward.
