A cultured, honest, serious bibliophile never forgets a book which is truely worth reading. Only the book gets buried deeper into ones intellect with passage of time. This post reminds you of those unlucky ones, vanished from the bookshelves, for lack of sensible readers.
"Jiboner Jalchabi" written in Bengali by Prativa Bosu, wife of Late Buddhadev Bosu, is likely the last authentic insight from the poet's closest quarters. Married to Buddhadev in 1934, after she fell in love with this literary giant at Dhaka University, this book tells you about the poetic horizons this Adonis travelled and adorned. Her sincere effort reminds you that there are a few things which only a caring spouse can reflect. Published by Ananda Publishers, Calcutta and priced at Rs 150 will painfully convey to you that this book presently has no English translation. The book is catalogued as ISBN 81-7215-214-0. This book is unlucky in the sense that it loses a bulk of English language readers. Is any responsible translator reading this blog ?
