Bulbuli Nirob Nargis Mone by Muhammad Abdul Alim [hardcover]

"Bulbuli Nirab Nargis Bone – We generally know Kazi Nazrul Islam as the “Rebel Poet.” However, many of us are unaware of the “lover persona” hidden within him. When Nazrul was just 22 years old, he formed a friendly relationship with the famous book seller and publisher Ali Akbar Khan and visited their ancestral home in Daulatpur. There, Nazrul fell in love with Nargis Asar Khanam. Eventually, their marriage was arranged. On the wedding day, Nazrul became extremely agitated when Ali Akbar Khan included a condition in the marriage contract that Nazrul would have to live as a live-in son-in-law. Nazrul wanted to leave the wedding mandap, but everyone persuaded him, and the marriage was completed. After spending the wedding night, Nazrul left, leaving a sleeping Nargis behind. Thus began the tragic life of Nazrul and Nargis. The ups and downs of this relationship form the central theme of this novel."
