About the Book

Samparker Bodh: Jeebanander Chotogalpa (Bengali Version) by Payel Das is a critical and interpretative study of the lesser-known narrative writings of Jibanananda Das, one of the most significant modern Bengali poets. While Jibanananda is widely celebrated for his poetic vision and image-driven verse, this book brings attention to his posthumously discovered prose fiction, including short stories, novels, and diary writings.

The study explores the emotional core of Jibanananda’s narrative world, where themes of loneliness, isolation, and existential detachment are deeply embedded. These elements, which are central to his poetic imagination, are also reflected in his fictional works, revealing a more complex and multidimensional literary personality than previously known.

A key focus of the book is the portrayal of human relationships, particularly the intricate dynamics between men and women. The author examines how Jibanananda’s narratives often depict the tensions, ambiguities, and emotional complexities inherent in interpersonal relationships. Through detailed textual analysis, the book highlights how these relationships become a medium for exploring broader existential concerns.

The book also situates Jibanananda’s fiction within the context of modern literature, emphasizing its psychological depth and thematic richness. It shows how his narrative works continue the modernist tradition of exploring fragmented identities, inner conflicts, and the complexities of human existence.

Written in a scholarly and analytical style, Samparker Bodh: Jeebanander Chotogalpa (Bengali Version) is an important resource for students, researchers, teachers, and readers interested in Jibanananda Das, Bengali literature, modern fiction, literary criticism, and gender studies. It offers a fresh perspective on a writer primarily known as a poet, revealing the hidden dimensions of his storytelling craft.
