Berin Taranger Nitol Mukta Prabal by Bratya Basu [Hardcover]

"The twentieth century was filled with a series of intense and impactful events. Art and literature have lived alongside the political and social history of this century. Within this existence, there was both coexistence and opposition. Bratya Basu, in his book, has portrayed the personal lives and literary pursuits of ten poets of the twentieth century. These poets' lives, driven by the destiny of the past century, bore the marks of political and personal calamities as if they were epochal signs. The author examines Boris Pasternak, Pablo Neruda, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Paul Éluard, Ernst Toller, Bei Dao, Sylvia Plath, Federico García Lorca, Abdul Wahab Al-Bayati, and Amiri Baraka in the context of the 'most terrifying' period of the twentieth century. For each of them, some form of 'power' became a determinant in their lives. This remarkable and valuable book is also an example of the profound love for poetry by a renowned contemporary theater personality."
