Panchashti Galpa by Harsha Datta [Hardcover]

The short story is a marvelous treasure of literature. In Bengali literature, the true pioneer of the short story was none other than Rabindranath Tagore. Inspired by his philosophy of "even after ending, it does not truly end," the world of Bengali short stories continues to shine with brilliant creations, like precious pearls.

Renowned fiction writer Harsha Dutta is an esteemed short story writer. After completing his initial journey as a storyteller, he ventured into the realm of novel writing.
