📖 About the Book

Apanjan is a compelling novel that spans the historical turbulence from the 1946 riots to the Naxalite movement in the 1970s, capturing the lives of two generations living through these tumultuous times. The narrative intertwines the personal and the political, offering a deep and insightful look at the two Bengal regions, their challenges, and the historical upheavals that shaped their futures.

The novel is split into two generations:

• The first generation deals with the pre-independence era, particularly focusing on the 1946 riots

• The second generation spans the Naxalite era in the 1970s, a time of political unrest, struggle, and revolution

The book was first published in Nabakalol Puja Barshiki as a serial and is now presented in its entirety for the first time, giving readers a comprehensive experience of these two historical periods. The author beautifully captures the emotional and social upheaval of both eras, blending historical events with personal stories.

Illustrated by Soujanya Chakraborty, the visuals enrich the narrative, bringing the two generations and their struggles to life.

Perfect for readers who enjoy historical fiction, sociopolitical narratives, and family sagas set against the backdrop of significant historical events.
