Rate this book
चंद्रकांता संतति लोक विश्रुत साहित्यकार बाबू देवकीनंदन खत्री का विश्वप्रसिद्ध ऐय्यारी उपन्यास है। खत्री जी ने पहले चन्द्रकान्ता लिखा फिर उसकी लोकप्रियता और सफलता को देख कर उन्होंने कहानी को आगे बढ़ाया और 'चन्द्रकान्ता संतति' की रचना की। हिन्दी के प्रचार प्रसार में यह उपन्यास मील का पत्थर है। कहते हैं कि लाखों लोगों ने चन्द्रकान्ता संतति को पढ़ने के लिए ही हिन्दी सीखी। घटना प्रधान, तिलिस्म, जादूगरी, रहस्यलोक, एय्यारी की पृष्ठभूमि वाला हिन्दी का यह उपन्यास आज भी लोकप्रियता के शीर्ष पर है। बाबू देवकीनंदन खत्री लिखित चन्द्रकान्ता संतति हिन्दी साहित्य का ऐसा उपन्यास है जिसने पूरे देश में तहलका मचाया था। इस उपन्यास की लोकप्रियता का अंदाजा इस बात से ही लगाया जा सकता है

About the author

Babu Devakinandan Khatri

85 books56 followers
After his earlier education, Devkinandan Khatri moved to Tekari Estate in Gaya. He became an employee of the Raja of Benares. He started a printing press called "Lahari" and started a Hindi monthly, "Sudarshan", in 1898. The various works of Khatri and his son Durga Prasad were republished by Lahari Press in the early 21st century. Lahari Press is still in existence in Ramkatora (Pisnahariya Kuwan)very close to area called Lahurabeer in Varanasi.

Khatri made a strong contribution to the learning of the Hindi language by the people of the times. People were so mesmerised by the works Chandrakanta, Chandrakanta Santati and Bhootnath that they started to learn Hindi just to be able to read the works. Khatri did not write any work at one go and then publish the same. He used to write "bayaans" - chapters - on the run from the British and these were published and distributed widely. People would await the new "bayaans" and congregate around those who could read Hindi to hear the latest exploits in the continuing saga.
