This site uses cookies: Find out more. I have - and I'm sure I share this misfortune with many - an uncontainable practical joker for a friend. A few years ago, he had a group of us working in pretty froth over the kind of book he caught his teenage daughter reading. She's reading about some manico-depressive killer! He said, to general expressions of shock. Fellow has hallucinations, thinks he's talking to his dead father, goes on a serial killer rampage ... I think there's even a part where he's trying to rape someone. And she's trying to tell me that the book is in her school program! The joke was an interesting cultural phenomenon for me. In many ways, minds, the label classic, seems to cause a set of unconscious assumptions about the book, the main among them the certainty that it is dull to tears tedious (or philosophically dense if someone wants to be kind). Some may even see virtue in such a tedium. High art is a serious business, after all, and should not be ruined by pleasure. If someone wants to be entertained, these assumptions imply, then one should read the products that are low-stable, popular fiction. And that's where this stereotype becomes incomprehensible, for many literary classics of the Western canon, in fact, popular fictions. Sure, they're from an earlier era, and most old things acquire a vintage patina in our eyes given adequate distance and nostalgia, but still. It's not just genre fiction, after all, but very dramatic stories about gods and monsters, hot romances and bloody family strife, interspersed liberally with ribaldry and tear-jerking tragedy. Very far, in short, from the slow grinding of Thectorian monology that we imagine the classics to be. Then why a dreary reputation? Well, first of all, we've accumulated and inherited these texts for generations. During this time, both our languages and the world have changed so much and so often that the whole scientific career was built on arguing about the pronunciation of one vowel. If Shakespeare knew how popular his Sonnet 18 would be among men looking at women, he might have been quite surprised (and not a little amused). Similarly, twenty years from now, when summer in his homeland will regularly exceed 40 degrees Celsius, should I compare you to a summer day? It can cause more acidity than love.

Modi University, Newai, Rajasthan, India. : An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in English ISSN 2455-7544 www.daathvoyagejournal.com Vol.2, No.4, December, 2017 Rethinking Nature: An Ecocritical Analysis of Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay’s Popular Novels Dr. Sandip Kumar Mishra Independent Researcher [email protected] & Dr. Itishri Sarangi Associate Professor KIIT University [email protected] Abstract : In an age of environmental crisis, the need of the hour is to re-think nature to keep the earth in better order. Ecocriticism is a comparatively new way of analyzing literature or art and is considered to be a mind-expanding theory as it seeks to expand our understanding of the environment that allows reading literature from nature's perspective and prompt eco-critics to think in a bio-centric way. The present paper studies three novels of Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, Pather Panchali-Song of the Road, Aparajita-the Unvanquished and Aranyak-Of the Forest from the perspectives of ecocriticism. The paper explores the three specific perspectives like ecosophy, deep ecology and ecocide which are brought into focus by the self-realization of the protagonists. Ecocriticism in Bandyopadhyay's, therefore, develops an ecological literacy among the readers. The present study is an attempt to reconnect man’s lost relationship with nature in order to promote green peace. Keywords: Bandyopadhyay, Nature, Ecosophy, Deep-ecology, Ecocide. Introduction Literature has shared a very close relationship with nature down the ages. This intimate relationship between literary works and nature has been textualized in many poems, prose narratives, songs, plays etc since ancient Greek and Indian civilization.

  • Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay
    HUMANITIES INSTITUTE Stuart Blackburn, Ph.D. BIBHUTIBHUSHAN BANDYOPADHYAY Born Muratipur, West Bengal, India September 12, 1894 Died Ghatisila, Jharkhand, India November 1, 1950 Biography Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay (also Banerjee) was a transitional figure between the early novelistic experiments in the 19th century and the fully-developed form of the 20th century in India. Indeed, his biography reads like a blueprint for creating a modern Indian literature with its blend of tradition and innovation. His grandfather was an Ayurvedic doctor, while his father was a Sanskrit scholar and professional storyteller (kathak). Born as the eldest of five children in a rural village, Bandyopadhyay studied at a high school that was one of the first modern schools in British India. He went on to study at Ripon College in Calcutta and graduated with a degree in Economics, History and Sanskrit. Although he was admitted to study for a law degree at Calcutta University, he was unable to pay the fees and became a teacher instead. This change of direction, though unwanted at the time, probably helped to produce one of the best-loved Bengali novelists of the early period. He was a teacher for only a short period before taking on a variety of other short-term appointments, such as secretary for a rich man. Eventually he returned to teaching in the region where he was a child and remained a teacher for the rest of his life. He published his first piece of fiction, a short story, in 1921 in a Calcutta literary magazine. His first literary success came with Pather Panchali (translated in English as The Song of the Road) in 1929 and its sequel Aparajito (translated in English as The Unvanquished) in 1932.

  • Parallel Worlds in Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay’S Debjan
    THE ‘IMAGINARY’ WORLD OF THE AFTERLIFE: PARALLEL WORLDS IN BIBHUTIBHUSHAN BANDYOPADHYAY’S DEBJAN Ayusman CHAKRABORTY West Bengal Education Service Taki Government College Abstract: This article focuses on the presentation of parallel worlds in the early twentieth century Bengali writer Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay’s (1894-1950) novel Debjan (1946) [literally, ‘the path of the Gods’]. Bandyopadhyay is known abroad mainly for his novels Song of the Road (in Bengali Pather Panchali, 1929) and Mountain of the Moon (Bengali Chander Pahar, 1937), both of which have been translated into English. But the majority of his works still remain untranslated, including the novel Debjan. Due to the popularity of the film version of Song of the Road, adapted for the screen by the veteran Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Ray, the author is usually viewed as a realist who meticulously depicted the sad plight of the rural poor in colonial Bengal. But Bibhutibhushan also had a prodigious power of imagination, as manifested in Debjan. The novel depicts the afterlife, where the dead protagonists embark on a cosmic odyssey discovering several parallel worlds along the way. Inspired by religious beliefs, literary works have been depicting parallel worlds of the dead ever since the dawn of civilizations. Following Umberto Eco, one may classify such worlds as “utopias” where the parallel world exists somewhere outside the real world and is normally inaccessible to its inhabitants. From the point of view of researchers in history and cultural studies, such tales interest mainly because they provide us with insight into the religious beliefs and culture of a particular people of a particular age.
