Jibananda Das: Short Fiction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788187075639)

Jibanananda Das was perhaps the most important Bengali poet after Tagore. However, the discovery of his unpublished manuscripts and their posthumous publication from the 1980s has gradually introduced a corpus of some eighty short stories and five novels that far exceeds in volume the original poetic canon, and has opened a new window on the literary career of Jibananda. This volume offers the first ever translation of Jibananandas early short stories, written between 1931-1933 but published only from the 1980s. Selected from the twelve volumes of Jibanananda Shamagra published so far, teh stories are a representative sample of Jibanandanda distinctive and compelling style and f his insistent concern with time, memory, loss, death, marital discord and unemployment.
