Somen Chanda (Author)

Synopsis Originally written in Bengali, these nine sensitive and poignant short stories depicts the sordidness, degeneracy and boredom of the dispossessed middle class in Bengal. These nine stories by Somen Chanda portray with great realism and sensitivity the anguish, frustrations and concerns of the rural middle class in Bengal during 1940s. Though realistic, these stories also have a certain lyrical quality about them, which is a hallmark of Bengali literature.

About the author

Somen Chanda

SOMEN CHANDA (1920-1942), the young communist writer was barely twenty two when he was killed in Dhaka (now in Bangladesh) by nationalist-chauvinists who have turned into admirers of Fascism. His life, creative aspirations and tragic death made him an icon of his time, and his assassination was the immediate provocation for the mobilization of a militant anti-fascist writers' and artists' movement in India.
