About the author
Samaresh Basu
123 books65 followersSamaresh Basu (Bengali: সমরেশ বসু) was born in December 22, 1924. He spent his early childhood in Bikrampur, Dhaka. He also wrote under the pen-name of Kalkut.
He would in later days recall the deep impressions that the Brata-kathas (fantastic folk-tales recited by women while performing certain religious rites) narrated by his mother left on him as a child. His adolescent years were spent in Naihati, a suburb of Kolkata, in West Bengal. His life was rich with varied experiences. At one point, he used to hawk eggs from a basket carried on his head; later, he worked for meager daily wages. From 1943 through 1949 he worked in an ordnance factory in Ichhapore. He was an active member of the trade union and the Communist Party for a period, and was jailed for during 1949-50 when the party was declared illegal. While in jail, he wrote Uttaranga,his first published novel. Soon after his release from the jail, he began to write professionally, refusing to join the factory even when offered his old job.
When he was only 21, he wrote his first novel Nayanpurer Mati, later published in Parichay. it was never published as a book. Adab was his first short story published in Parichay in 1946.
A prolific writer with more than 200 short stories and 100 novels, including those written under the aliases "Kalkut" and "Bhramar", Samaresh Basu is a major figure in Bangla fiction. His life experiences populated his writings with themes ranging from political activism to working class life to sexuality. Two of his novels had been briefly banned on charges of obscenity. The case against one of these, Prajapati (Bangla:প্রজাপতি), was settled in the Supreme Court of India which overturned, in 1985, the rulings of the two lower courts.
Among other intellectuals, Buddhadeva Bose, himself once accused of similar charges for his রাত ভ'রে বৃষ্টি, came out strongly in support of Samaresh. To quote from Sumanta Banerjee's recent translation Selected Stories (Vol.1), Samaresh Basu "remains the most representative storyteller of Bengal's suburban life, as distinct from other well-known Bengali authors who had faithfully painted the life and problems of either Bengal's rural society or the urban middle class. Basu draws on his lived experience of Calcutta's `half-rural, half-urban,' industrial suburbs."
While the pen-name "Kalkut" was adopted in 1952 for the immediate need to publish an overtly political piece, the real "Kalkut" can be said to have been born with the publication of Amritakumbher Sandhane, a hugely popular, semi-autobiographical narrative centered around the Kumbha-mela. The many subsequent books by Kalkut had depicted the lives of the common people from all over India and all walks of life (including those who live on the periphery of the "mainstream") with their varied cultures and religious practices in a unique style that was Kalkut's own. He also drew upon the recollections of the Puranas and Itihas; Shamba (Bangla:শাম্ব), an interesting modern interpretation of the Puranic tales, won the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1980.
Samaresh Basu breathed his last on March 12, 1988.

Re-reading the book through which I relive my childhood ! The stories shouldn't be judged by their plots, the portrayal of a juvenile mind, the curiosity of a growing child, the concerns of parents, the societal setting of 80s in Calcutta.... just amazing...therein lies the greatness of Samaresh Basu , therein lies the flavor of what he wrote

৬০০ পেজের বিশাল বই। গল্প উপন্যাস মিলায়ে মোট ১৫ টা। তবে খুব তাড়াতাড়ি পড়া হয়ে যায়।
গোগোলের গল্পগুলা ১৯৭২ থেকে ১৯৮৭ এর মাঝে লিখা। তাই পড়তে পড়তে ওই সময়ের প্রেক্ষাপটে সবকিছু কল্পনা করতে ভালো লাগে। আর গল্পগুলা পড়ার সময় একদম চোখের সামনে সবকিছু ভেসে ওঠে।
খুব কড়া গোয়েন্দাকাহিনী না, তাই সবার ভালো লাগবে না। তবে আমার কাছে গল্পগুলা পড়তে আরামদায়ক। সে হিসেবে যে কেউ চাইলে পড়তে পারে।
