Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. This translation from the Bangla Antarghat is the story of a group of young friends who had committed themselves idealistically and politically to the Naxalite movement that rocked Bengal in the 1960s. Moving seamlessly from the past to the present, Basu's narrative is compelling and breathless, as the novel's edgy, nervous rhythms reconstruct and call up the turbulent history of a difficult period.

Gandharvi: Life of a Musician
First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface by Meena Banerjee. Gandharvi (Chapter 1 27; Epilogue). Glossary. Gandharvi: Life of a Musician, by the Sahitya Akademi Award-winning novelist Bani Basu (and translated by English scholar Jayita Sengupta), tells the story of Apala, a gifted singer of Hindustani classical music. She was born into an old, middle-class family of limited means in north Calcutta. To her family, her music meant little, as it did not fit their idea of respectability . Her husband chose her after hearing her sing at a public concert, yet her marital life proved loveless. Her in-laws were insensitive and exploitative. Her children grew up learning to ignore their mother s music. Shorn of freedom, love and, above all, music, Apala s life moved towards a tragic end. Surrounding Apala s story are the interlinked lives of other practitioners of music and classical art, like Soham, Mitul, Rameshwar Thakur, Dipali and Shekharan. Their lives intersected with Apala s in ways that profoundly affected all of them. Written in lilting prose that draws on the idioms of Hindustani classical music, Gandharvi is also musical in its form, where in the end the movement of music and the life story of Apala become one and the same. A thinly veiled depiction of the classical music scene of Calcutta in the 1960s, this modern Bengali classic is also a celebration of the indomitable spirit of music. (jacket).

This is America in the 1980s, and it throws up all the challenges and insecurities they must fight against as they raise their rather American children in a conventional Bengali household. Reminiscent of Jhumpa Lahiri's Namesake, The Continents Between is a rich and thoughtful translation of Bani Basu's epic novel, Janmabhoomi, Matribhoomi.
