Anal Antaral Ajhor Mousumi by Shekhar Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

The young writer Amitjyoti is given the daunting task of completing the unfinished novel of the late author Rebanta Roy. The novel, "Anol Antaral", begins in 1732-33, introducing historical figures such as Shibnath Chattopadhyay, Warren Hastings, Siraj-ud-Daulah, and Nabakrishna Deb. A dark conflict arises when Helarama, the illegitimate son of Shibnath, secretly plots vengeance against his father. As the brutal events unfold, Amitjyoti is deeply disturbed—his conscience rebels against the narrative, and he is tempted to abandon the novel entirely. But what will happen in the end? After nearly three centuries, does the bloodline of Raja Shibnath Ray still survive?

In "Ajhor Moushumi", the novel delves into the clash between personal relationships and social identity, ambition versus love, development versus environment, and the growing inequalities of progress. At the heart of the story lies the Shaownganj Power Project and the relationships entangled in its wake. Vikramjit Betal, the Managing Director of the project, finds himself in a battle—but against whom? In his relentless pursuit of success, will he discard Swapnajit along the way? And what about Jia—why does their relationship oscillate between intense conflict and deep love?

Both novels offer compelling narratives filled with history, intrigue, and the complexities of human relationships, making them thought-provoking and emotionally gripping reads.
