 About The Book

"সমাগত মধুমাস (২য় খণ্ড)" by অভিজিৎ চৌধুরী continues the rich, lyrical, and thought-provoking narrative that began in the first volume. At its heart is মদনমোহন তর্কালঙ্কার—a poet, lyricist, and social reformer—whose life embodies the inner conflict between personal emotion and public duty.

The second volume opens with his lamentations amid a burdensome career as a Deputy Magistrate, yet his intellectual curiosity and patriotic spirit remain undimmed. Through conversations with his daughter ভুবনবালা, themes of science, society, literature, and national consciousness are beautifully woven into the everyday fabric of life.

Notable historical personalities like বিদ্যাসাগর and বিটন সাহেব appear in flashback, offering glimpses into a dynamic period of cultural awakening. With the death of Madanmohan comes a dignified silence, but the narrative shifts gracefully into the emotional aftermath, focusing on his wife মুক্তকেশী and daughters কুন্দমালা, ভুবনমালা, and হেমবালা.

A tale of hidden love, self-sacrifice, and the artistic inheritance of poetry plays out as younger generations grapple with their identities and emotions. A unique subplot presents the unconventional love between the aged scholar বাচস্পতি and the courtesan তারাসুন্দরি, challenging societal norms and resonating with the overarching theme of love’s resilience.

Rich in historical texture, philosophical dialogue, and emotional nuance, "সমাগত মধুমাস (২য় খণ্ড)" is a masterful continuation of a literary saga that celebrates Bengal’s cultural and intellectual heritage while exploring deeply personal human experiences.
