Jibanananda Das Poradie kníh

Jibanananda Das je pravdepodobne najpopulárnejším bengálskym básnikom, považovaným za jedného z predchodcov modernizmu v bengálskej literatúre. Jeho poézia, charakteristická neobvyklou dikciou, voľbou slov a tematickými preferenciami, si získala srdcia čitateľov až neskôr. V druhej polovici dvadsiateho storočia sa jeho dielo stalo definujúcim prvkom modernizmu v bengálskej poézii.

Malloban is set in North Calcutta in the winter of 1929. The eponymous protagonist, a lower-middle-class office worker, lives in College Street-a locality known for its bookstores, publishing houses, and universities-with his wife Utpala and their daughter Monu. The novel unfolds through a series of everyday scenes of dysfunction and discontent: bickering about bathrooms and budgeting, family trips to the zoo and the movies, a visit from Utpala's brother's family which displaces Malloban to a boarding house, and the appearance of a frequent late-night visitor to Utpala's upstairs bedroom. Meanwhile, the daughter Monu bears the brunt of her parents' "unlove." Arguably the most beloved poet in modern Bangla after Tagore, Jibanananda wrote a significant number of novels and short stories discovered and published after his death. Malloban is his most popular novel.
