 About The Book

In this curated volume of মুহূর্তকথা, Sunil Gangopadhyay’s finest short stories are brought together in celebration of his timeless contribution to Bengali literature. A name synonymous with emotional depth, lyrical expression, and social consciousness, Sunil's stories capture the quiet intensity of everyday life and elevate it into art.

Part of the inaugural release of the মুহূর্তকথা series by Parul Prakashani, this edition stands alongside collections by Atin Bandyopadhyay, Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, and Bani Basu. The series aims to showcase the eternal essence of Bengali short fiction through stories that are as poetic as they are powerful.

Each tale in this collection offers a muhurtakotha—a moment made eloquent. These moments transcend the barriers of time and space, guiding the reader into realms of introspection, discovery, and rich emotional texture. Sunil Gangopadhyay’s narratives speak of longing, memory, rebellion, and the ceaseless tide of human experience.

His language is simple yet profound, his characters often caught in the whirlpools of love, ideology, or existential dilemmas. Yet, within these stories, there’s always a quiet defiance, a celebration of the personal amidst the political.

Whether it's a sudden journey to a forgotten railway station or a fleeting childhood memory, মুহূর্তকথা leaves an indelible imprint on the heart. For both long-time admirers and new readers, this book is a precious gateway into the world of one of Bengal’s most beloved literary voices.
