Points: The particular book — The reason why I find it so interesting — Its universal.
My most favorite book is Pather Panchali by Bibhutibhunit Bandyopadhyay. I have read ii times without count. Every time I read it I find new joy out of it. It is a modern classic in Bengali literature. Apu and Durga are the eternal brother and sister of a Bengali family. The hardship of the life of a poor Bengali villager is vividly described in this novel.
The descriptions of Nature are also brilliant. Bihubati bhusàn was a great lover of Nature. By the magic touch of his pen the trees and creepers seem living. I can almost smell the flowers in the wood and visualize the village paths. I also feel for the characters like Sarbajaya the mother, and Indira Thakrain the grandmother.
Satyajit Ray has made the story of Pather Panchali world-famous by his great film. When I saw the film for the first time, I thought it was in many ways different from the novel. But when I saw it for the second time I corrected my mistake. The film had to be different because it was made by a camera. Bibhutibhusan made his novel with words. Pather Panchali is full of sentiment and has a universal appeal. Even after seeing Satyajit Ray’s film, I find joy in reading the novel. It is an immortal book.
