Srikanta (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from SrikantaVery few of his fellownovelists have had his experience of life. Mention of Rangoon above reminds us that he lived for many years in Burma, serving in a Government office. He thus had the inestimable advantage of viewing his land and people from outside. His fiction deals very largely with social problems, and with tyrannies that have obsessed the modern Bengali life against reason and humanity Especially, he handles the dowrysystem and the difficulty felt by the upper classes in marrying their girls. No problem is more insistent with the educated classes today. The sales of his books have been enormous, greater than those of any other Indian novelist.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
