Originally serialized in Bangadarshan, a popular literary magazine founded by Chatterjee in 1872 and later edited by Rabindranath Tagore, The Poison Tree is a story that engages with the subject of widow remarriage. “The river flowed smoothly on—leaped, danced, cried out, restless, unending, playful. On shore, herdsmen were grazing their oxen—one sitting under a tree singing, another smoking, some fighting, others eating. Inland, husbandmen were driving the plough, beating the oxen, lavishing abuse upon them, in which the owner shared.” With his wife’s blessing, Nagendra sets out on a journey by boat down the river. When a sudden storm forces him to leave his boat for safety, he comes across the ruined home of Kundanandini, a young widow caring for her father in his final days. When the old man dies, Kundanandini begs him to take her to Calcutta. As he begins to fall for the beautiful woman, he struggles with the demands of family, religion, and tradition, knowing that love wields power over them all. Tragic and timeless, The Poison Tree is a brilliant romance from a legendary figure in Bengali literature. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s The Poison Tree is a classic of Bengali literature and utopian science fiction reimagined for modern readers. |

| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Durgesh Nandini Baṅkimacandra Caṭṭopādhyāẏa, 2007 Durgesh Nandini, Bankim Chandra's masterpiece that ushered in a fresh breath of air in Bengali literature is, on the surface, a tale of instant attraction and infatuation of two young hearts. But the most effective symbol of heroic-romance in the novel is the matchless Bimala whose inimitable character, sophisticatedly handled by Bankim, offers unusual and engaging possibilities of multiple readings and presents a vision that rejects narrow divisions and discriminations on the grounds of religion, caste and sex, in short, a world without social barriers. |

| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Women and the Romance of the Word Sreemati Mukherjee, 2024-04-30 Around the middle of the 19th century, woman emerges as a new sign disrupting the cultural economy of Bengal and reversing and realigning conventional notions and expectations of woman's agency and power. The colonial interface would have been important because a need for women's overall development was felt amongst the male intelligentsia of the period and some of the key texts that circulated at the beginning of the 19th century were Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), Thomas Paine's Rights of Man (1791), James Mill's History of British India (1817), Richard Carlile's Every Woman's Book (1826) and William Thompson's Appeal of One Half the Human Race, Women, against the Pretensions of the Other Half, Men (1825). The inaugural moment of this outstanding efflorescence of women's writing in polemics, travel writing, autobiography and journal articles could be said to begin with Kailashbasini Devi's Hindu Mahilaganer Heenabastha (The Woeful Plight of Hindu Women, 1863), in autobiographies like Rassundari Devi's Amar Jiban (My Life, 1876) and Binodini Dasi's Amar Katha (My Words, 1913) and in personalised travelogues like Krishnabhabini Das's Englande Banga Mahila (A Bengali Woman in England, 1885). As Kailashbasini, Rassundari, Krishnabhabini and Binodini write, the romance of the word, the romance of learning and self-realisation is enacted. A new dramatic script emerges as Bengali women become the scriptwriters of their own histories. |
| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Mahasweta Devi in Defence of the Human Anuradha Ghosh, Mahmoud Al-Zayed, 2025-06-06 This book re-thinks the literary and social worlds of Mahasweta Devi, the prolific and influential writer and social activist, in connection to her praxis. It brings into focus Devi’s preoccupation with the human, nature and life, and unwritten or distorted histories that underline her poetics of translating resistance in terms of a radical alterity. The defining feature of Devi’s writings is the position she adopts in defence of the human, questioning the nature of the ‘abject’ in her discourse on the oppressed. Essays in this volume focus on her subversive retellings from the Mahabharata, the political aspects of translation/adaptation of her works in literature, cinema and visual arts and comparative readings of her works by women authors from the Global South as well as the Indian diaspora. They examine her early publications, her writings for children, and the notion of aesthet(h)ics, i.e., ethics and/in aesthetics, as a gesture to pave forward a discourse on liberation and social justice that remains a challenge for the world. The book will be of significant interest to scholars and researchers of postcolonial and decolonial studies, critical translation and adaptation studies, comparative literature, the visual arts, myth and folklore studies, gender and sexuality studies, caste and ethnicity studies, culture studies, ethics in/and aesthetics, activism studies, democratic and indigenous rights discourse, South Asian studies and Global South studies. |
| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Plant Thinkers of Twentieth-Century Bengal Sumana Roy, 2024-08-02 This book delves into the unconventional perspectives of writers and artists from Twentieth Century Bengal, exploring their roles as 'plant thinkers.' By examining the works of figures such as Rabindranath Tagore, Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, Jibanananda Das, Shakti Chattopadhyay, Satyajit Ray, and others, the narrative delves into how their stories, songs, art, and films, deeply influenced Bengali life and thought. Embracing themes of forest and garden, grass and root, weeds and magical plants, these thinkers, including Jagadish Chandra Bose with his scientific experiments, derived their worldviews, poetics, and politics from the intricate world of plants. The work not only explores Bose's scientific research and philosophy but also delves into religious rituals that fostered a profound connection with the natural world. Through a nuanced examination of the affective relationship between individuals and the plant world, the narrative uncovers a subterranean invocation of plant philosophy in both actions and words. Moreover, it highlights the political possibilities beyond the confines of the nation state that emanated from such profound thinking. As the book unfolds, it weaves a rich tapestry of living practices and artistic expressions rooted in plant philosophy. By contemplating the sap and flow of these influences, it prompts readers to reflect on what contemporary consciousness can glean from these thinkers. |
| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Bengali Literature Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, 2020-12-08 In Bengali Literature, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay delves into the rich tapestry of Bengali literary tradition, illuminating its evolution from its early forms to its contemporary expressions. Blending a scholarly approach with lyrical prose, Chattopadhyay explores significant themes, notable figures, and the socio-political context that shaped Bengali writing. His work not only serves as a comprehensive guide to the literature but also as a critical examination of its cultural implications, encapsulating the spirit of Bengal in a period marked by intellectual awakening and socio-political turbulence. Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, a pivotal figure in the Bengali Renaissance, was profoundly influenced by his surroundings and the socio-political climate of 19th century India. His engagement with British colonial rule and his aspirations for a national identity inspired him to articulate Bengali culture through literature, making him an influential voice in shaping regional and national narratives. His profound erudition and personal passion for Bengali heritage are palpable in every page. Bengali Literature is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the complexities and richness of Bengali culture. Chattopadhyay's insightful analysis not only enriches the reader's knowledge of literature but also enhances their appreciation for the cultural heritage it embodies. This book is a landmark work that resonates with both academic scholars and general readers alike. |
| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Biographical Sketch Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, 2015-11-16 Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay (26 June 1838 - 8 April 1894) was a Bengali writer, poet and journalist. He was the composer of India's national song Vande Mataram, originally a Bengali and Sanskrit stotra personifying India as a mother goddess and inspiring the activists during the Indian Independence Movement. Chattopadhyay wrote thirteen novels and several 'serious, serio-comic, satirical, scientific and critical treaties' in Bengali. His works were widely translated into other regional languages of India as well as in English. Born to an orthodox Brahmin family, Chattopadhyay was educated at Hooghly Mohsin College founded by Bengali philanthropist Muhammad Mohsin and Presidency College, Calcutta. He was one of the first graduates of the University of Calcutta. From 1858, until his retirement in 1891, he served as a deputy magistrate and deputy collector in the Government of British India. Chattopadhyay is widely regarded as a key figure in literary renaissance of Bengal as well as India. Some of his writings, including novels, essays and commentaries, were a breakaway from traditional verse-oriented Indian writings, and provided an inspiration for authors across India. When Bipin Chandra Pal decided to start a patriotic journal in August 1906, he named it Vande Mataram, after Chattopadhyay's song. Lala Lajpat Rai also published a journal of the same name. |
| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Anandamath, or The Sacred Brotherhood Bankimcandra Chatterji, 2005-09-22 Winner of the A.K. Ramanujan Prize for Annotated Translation This is a translation of a historically important Bengali novel. Published in 1882, Chatterji's Anandamath helped create the atmosphere and the symbolism for the nationalist movement leading to Indian independence in 1947. It contains the famous hymn Vande Mataram (I revere the Mother), which has become India's official National Song. Set in Bengal at the time of the famine of 1770, the novel reflects tensions and oppositions within Indian culture between Hindus and Muslims, ruler and ruled, indigenous people and foreign overlords, jungle and town, Aryan and non-Aryan, celibacy and sexuality. It is both a political and a religious work. By recreating the past of Bengal, Chatterji hoped to create a new present that involved a new interpretation of the past. Julius Lipner not only provides the first complete and satisfactory English translation of this important work, but supplies an extensive Introduction contextualizing the novel and its cultural and political history. Also included are notes offering the Bengali or Sanskrit terms for certain words, as well as explanatory notes for the specialized lay reader or scholar. |

| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Autobiography of an Unknown Indian Nirad C. Chaudhuri, 2023-04-28 The Autobiography of an Unknown Indian by Nirad C. Chaudhuri is a profound and introspective account of a man's journey through early 20th-century India. The narrative weaves the personal with the historical, using the author’s life as a lens to explore the broader struggles of Indian civilization confronting British imperialism and modernity. Chaudhuri’s intention is to present not merely a memoir but a historical testimony, highlighting the intersection of individual experience with societal evolution. His unique perspective, shaped by an exceptional and unconventional path, offers a vantage point akin to an aerial view—detached yet deeply connected to the land below. Written with unflinching honesty, the book delves into themes of identity, colonialism, and the trajectory of Indian society, emphasizing the tension between the dominant national currents and the often-overlooked exceptions that resist them. Addressing an English-speaking audience, Chaudhuri aims to provide insight into the forces that shaped India’s trajectory under British rule and beyond. While his experiences are atypical, he argues that their value lies in their ability to illuminate the broader environment through a distinct, independent lens. Chaudhuri candidly critiques both the dominant narratives of his time and the leaders who guide nations into either growth or decline. Through his reflections, he not only grapples with the complexities of India’s societal fabric but also examines the role of exceptional individuals who challenge or reinforce prevailing trends. This book stands as a bold declaration of faith in understanding history, culture, and personal identity amidst the relentless tide of change.

| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Forests and Forestry of West Bengal Gautam Kumar Das, 2021-11-01 This book explains several basic concepts of forests and forestry research like social distancing of trees, solitary trees, green infrastructure of trees including typical forest stands like pocket forests, forgotten forests, community forests, and social forestry from one forest stand to another scattered in the districts of West Bengal. In the field of forest floors, depleting status of the forests stimulates to find out different models of afforestation programme like tree-island and rescue forest strategy through plantation programme. Huge loss of tree canopy ravaged by the series of cyclonic storms particularly in the districts of South Bengal seems to be recovered by bioeconomic model with the implementation of social forestry schemes. Thoughts of such models incited the author to go through statistical analysis on different matters and parameters of the forest stands. Determination of physico-chemical parameters of the forest soil are carried on hand in hand with the identification of Alfisol profile exposures in the forest floors. For finding out the present status of forests, district-wise review is worked out. Though scattered in the format of the forest patches, forest stands in the Jungle Mahal are remarkably interesting for any surveyor or tree-lover. Because of the reasons, surveys in the specific forest lands like Joypur and Beliatore of Bankura district and Garh Jangal and Aduria Forests under Bardhaman Forest Division are given special impetus for statistical measures, soil properties analysis, and identification of vegetation pattern. All these salient features inspire the author to take an attempt disseminating information and related characteristics of the forests and forestry of West Bengal. Researchers and students will get sufficient material from this book to enrich their knowledge on the forest environment and the author believes that this book will act as the pioneer work for the flourishment and amelioration of the forestry of West Bengal. |

| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: 50 Writers, 50 Books Pradeep Ed Sebastian, Chandra Siddan, 2013-04-15 A unique anthology of writing on Indian fiction. This book is the first of its kind: 50 essays by 50 writers who thought so passionately of their favourite book that they leapt to the task of representing it here. Within these pages ,Siddharth Chowdhury celebrates Upamanyu Chatterjee as 'a bona fide home-grown rockstar' and Anita Roy quotes David Godwin's description of The God of Small Things as 'a shot of heroin in the arm'. They are all celebrating moments of rupture in literary history. Not all of these essays may convince, or convince equally: some very humbly and modestly focus on what the work offers, without making any worldly claims of it being an 'Indian classic' or 'one of the top fifty'. But each of these essayists, several being novelists themselves, is fashioning their argument in a sarcophagus of their love of this book, not really caring who else will be at this party. And who can resist the beauty of such passionate claims? |
| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Shakespeare in the World Suddhaseel Sen, 2020-10-15 Shakespeare in the World traces the reception histories and adaptations of Shakespeare in the nineteenth century, when his works became well-known to non-Anglophone communities in both Europe and colonial India. Sen provides thorough and searching examinations of nineteenth-century theatrical, operatic, novelistic, and prose adaptations that are still read and performed, in order to argue that, crucial to the transmission and appeal of Shakespeare’s plays were the adaptations they generated in a wide range of media. These adaptations, in turn, made the absorption of the plays into different national cultural traditions possible, contributing to the development of nationalist cosmopolitanisms in the receiving cultures. Sen challenges the customary reading of Shakespeare reception in terms of hegemony and mimicry, showing instead important parallels in the practices of Shakespeare adaptation in Europe and colonial India. Shakespeare in the World strikes a fine balance between the Bard’s iconicity and his colonial and post-colonial afterlives, and is an important contribution to Shakespeare studies. |
| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Chandra Shekhar Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, 2020-09-28 ON the bank of the Ganges, there was seated a boy under the green mantles of the mango groves, enjoying the evening melody of the flowing Bhagirathi.* Under his feet lay, on the green bed of grass, a little girl, casting upon his face her lingering glances—silent and motionless. She was gazing untiringly, and turning for a while her eyes towards the sky overhead, the river below, and the trees around, again fixed them upon that face. The name of the boy was Pratap—that of the girl, Shaibalini. Shaibalini was then only a girl of seven or eight—Pratap had scarcely stepped into youth. Overhead, the Papia, in its airy flight, filled the sky with waves of music and smoothly glided off.Shaibalini, in imitation, began to thrill, with her whistles, the mango groves that adorned the bank of the Ganges. The murmuring melody of the river mingled with that mock music in perfect harmony. The girl with her little soft hand plucked some equally soft wild flowers, and making with them a garland, embellished the boy with it. Taking it off, she coiled it round her own braid and again put it on the neck of the boy. She could not decide which of them should wear it. At last she got over the difficulty by throwing it round the horns of a plump, nice-looking cow grazing near by. So it happened with them often. Sometimes the boy, in return for the garland, used to bring down for her from the nest of birds their little ones, and in mango season he would give her sweet mangoes ripe for relish. When the stars appeared in the serene sky of the evening, they began to count them. Who has seen first? Which has first appeared? How many do you see?—Only four? I see five. There is one, there is another, again there is one, again there is another and lastly mark that. It is a lie. Shaibalini does not see more than three. Let us count the boats. Can you say how many boats are passing?—Only sixteen? Let us bet, I say there are eighteen. Shaibalini did not know to count. Once counting she found nine—counting again she came up to twenty-one. Turning from this, they next fixed their eyes upon a particular boat. Who is in that boat—whence it came—whither it goes? How glittering is the gold in the waters on the oars! |

| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: The Broken Nest Rabindranath Tagore, 2025-04-17 90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books Rabindranath Tagore was one of the greatest authors of his generation. In these two short stories – ‘The Broken Nest’ and ‘Dead or Alive’ – he is at his devastating best, charting the slow, then fast, implosion of two perfect Bengali households. No-one understands each other; everything is misconstrued; all is lost. |
| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Trinity Mist Tracy L. Judy, 2013-09-19 Roger Cook had been looking forward to his trip from Charleston, South Carolina to New Orleans, Louisiana. The year was 1846 and sailing was a common event in Roger's life. This trip, however, would forever alter his life. Little did he know the hell that awaited him and all aboard the vessel the Trinity Mist. Plagued by the sins of Captain Hall, the Trinity Mist pays the debts of her master. Crippled by storms and haunted by unknown entities, every moment is a fight for survival. Every night brings more terror than the day. No one is safe. No one is left untouched. Evil runs free on board. The Trinity Mist is sailing into the open ocean, and hell follows. |
| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Civilizing Emotions Margrit Pernau, Helge Jordheim, Orit Bashkin, Christian Bailey, Oleg Benesch, Jan Ifversen, Mana Kia, Rochona Majumdar, Angelika C. Messner, Myoung-kyu Park, Emmanuelle Saada, Mohinder Singh, Einar Wigen, 2015-08-27 At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the vocabulary of civility and civilization is very much at the forefront of political debate. Most of these debates proceed as if the meaning of these words were self-evident. This is where Civilizing Emotions intervenes, tracing the history of the concepts of civility and civilization and thus adding a level of self-reflexivity to the present debates. Unlike previous histories, Civilizing Emotions takes a global perspective, highlighting the roles of civility and civilization in the creation of a new and hierarchized global order in the era of high imperialism and its entanglements with the developments in a number of well-chosen European and Asian countries. Emotions were at the core of the practices linked to the creation of a new global order in the nineteenth century. Civilizing Emotions explores why and how emotions were an asset in civilizing peoples and societies - their control and management, but also their creation and their ascription to different societies and social groups. The study is a contribution to the history of emotions, to global history, and to the history of concepts, three rapidly developing and innovative research areas which are here being brought together for the first time. |
| kapalkundala bankim chandra chattopadhyay: Shakespeare and Indian Nationalism Manojit Mandal, 2023-09-29 Shakespeare and Indian Nationalism aims to articulate the reception of Shakespeare by the 19th-century Indian intelligentsia from Bengal and their ambivalent approach to the Indian Renaissance and consequent nationalist project. Showcasing the cultural politics of British imperialism, this volume focuses on six early nationalist writers and their engagement with Shakespeare: Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar (1820–1891), Hemchandra Bandopadhay (1838–1903), Girishchandra Ghosh (1844–1912), Purnachandra Basu (1844–unknown), Iswarchandra Vidyasagar (1820–1891), Bankimchandra Chattopadhaya(1838–1894), and Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941). Drawing on Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony and a host of prominent writers of cultural politics, nationalism and Indian history, this interdisciplinary approach combines postcolonial studies and Shakespeare studies in an attempt to reconcile the existence of an unbridled admiration for an English cultural icon in India alongside the rise of nationalism and a fierce resistance to British rule. The book, finally, moves to re-explore Shakespeare's position in academic, political, and popular nationalist discourses in postcolonial India. |
