Fever
Ruhiton Kurmi has been in jail for seven years. Once a notorious Naxalite, he is now a withered shell; a man broken by torture, racked with fevers and sores. The only way he can endure his life is by shutting out the past. But when Ruhiton is moved to a better jail and eventually freed, memories return to haunt him. Dark, powerful and full of ambiguities, Fever questions the human cost of revolution and its inevitable transience. A sensation in its time, it remains one of the greatest novels about the Naxalite movement.
B.T. Road / The Hollow
B.T. Road (B.T. Roader Dharey, 1953) emerged out of Samaresh Basu's own experiences of urban slum life concentrated around the jute mills of Bengal and the trade union movement that grew around them. The residents of a nameless slum next to the Barrackpore Trunk Road are brought to life with his sensitive pen, not from the perspective of an outsider viewing the grim squalor of the place but from a deep enquiry into their inner lives.With The Hollow (Bibar, 1965), a chilling, often grotesque, portrayal of society and its mores, Basu turned towards a frank dissection of the middle class and its unashamed pursuit of self-interest. With characteristic incisiveness, he tells the story of the dissolute Biresh and his struggle to free himself from the confines of love, family, profession and politics. Charged with obscenity at the time of its publication, it remains 'a unique ethical novel in Bengali'.Translated by Saugata Ghosh, with a rare feel for the nuances of the original, this volume presents one of the stalwarts of Bengali literature to a new readership.
Prometheus Unbound
Arguably one of the most powerful and versatile prose writers that Bengal has produced, Samaresh Basu was a controversial writer during his lifetime: highly praised by a section of society, and vilified for 'obscenity' by another. Called the Prince of Bengali literature, Samaresh Basu in his writing explored relationships and the subconscious desires that drove people with dramatic density, lyricism and vividness. Included in this volume are translations of a collection of carefully chosen stories illustrating some of his principal themes.
Dissevered (Khandita)
Belonging to what one may best describe as representative of the culture of the ‘urban popular’, the novella dissevered (khandita), published seventy years after independence, incorporates the birth pangs of a newly emergent nation experienced by the so-called ‘gully boys’, Gora, bias, and Sati, in a form that presents historical events through the techniques of fiction. Its added significance to the modern reader is its prescient quality, bringing to the fore dominant questions of nationalism, identity crises, communal disharmony, and citizenship that mark public discourse in the present times. In the portrayal of events and personalities which belong to the twin history of the Part...
