📝 About the Book

"Marunirjhar" by Surjanath Bhattyachaya is a gripping historical novel that brings to life the pivotal moments of ancient Indian history, weaving together the rise of Chandragupta Maurya and the dramatic political changes of the time. Set against the backdrop of post-Buddha India, the story unfolds in the court of the decadent and indulgent King Dhanananda, whose rule is marked by the corruption of power and the corruption of knowledge.

The novel follows a talented Brahmin who, humiliated in Dhanananda's court, vows to uproot the Nanda dynasty. This vow eventually leads to the emergence of Chandragupta Maurya, a nameless youth who would go on to change the course of history. But "Marunirjhar" is not just a tale of political upheaval; it is also a deeply human story.

The title, "Marunirjhar", refers to a raga that carries the eternal lament of human separation. This raga, symbolizing a union between the earth and the sky, is intricately tied to the events of Chandragupta's rise and the political tides that shaped India during this turbulent period. The book explores how the events of political transformation, marked by hatred, conflict, and love, are echoed in the rhythm of this timeless raga.

With a finely crafted narrative that blends historical facts with artistic imagination, Surjanath Bhattyachaya takes readers on a journey through ancient India, exploring the lives, struggles, and destinies of its most influential figures. The hardcover edition of "Marunirjhar", published by Suprokash, offers a beautifully presented version of this historical epic, making it a must-have for lovers of historical fiction and Bengali literature.
