📖 Summary:

As the sun sets and dark purple clouds creep across the western horizon, an aging poet, Dwaipayan Ray, finds himself engaged in deep conversations with an enigmatic visitor—Jibanbabu. But who is this man? Does Dwaipayan truly know him, or is he merely a figment of his thoughts? Why do words flow effortlessly in Jibanbabu’s presence? What secrets lie within the poetic verses that spring to his lips?

Told through a multifaceted narrative, shifting between first and second-person perspectives, Jiban Athaba explores the intertwined lives of:

• Debika – an ambitious woman
• Maloy – an idealistic dreamer
• Diptosh – a cunning manipulator
• Jagatjiban – a wise philosopher

Through the conflict of love and disillusionment, honesty and corruption, and ethics and politics, the novel gradually descends into an abyss of darkness. As the story unfolds, all that remains is an endless, chilling silence—where melancholy and poetry sit face to face, forever intertwined.

🔹 A poetic and introspective novel about life, loss, and the struggle between ideals and reality.
🔹 Explores the depths of the human psyche through philosophy, politics, and poetry.
🔹 A must-read for those who enjoy profound, thought-provoking literature.
