Few authors in any literature can rival Bandyopadhyay's understanding of the child's mind. He writes of Opu and Durga and their friends, at home or out at play with a natural realism unmarred by adult condescension.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe social environment is all-embracing: qork and holidays, religious festivals, daily worship and the grim rites of death. The reader senses the reality of family ties, the power of the supernatural in ordinary things, and the relations between the castes and between rich and poor. In creating this picture of rural Bengal, Bandyopadhyay has introduced us to an area of life which so far has been a closed book to foreign visitors to India, and which scholars know little about.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe translation which faithfully reflects the changing moods of the original as well as its many variations of style, is the work of T.W. Clark and Tarapada Mukherji, both teachers of Bengali at the School of Oriental and African Studies in the University of London.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48329151447290,"sku":"FUJITA72Y5SX","price":510.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/FUJITA72Y5SX-1.jpg?v=1723909605","url":"https:\/\/versoz.co.in\/products\/fujita72y5sx","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
