Samares Mazumdar’s incredibly thought-provoking and profound duology, Dau Dau Agun and Kathkoylar Agun are now in one book. Tracing the story of a benevolent doctor who moves to Sundarbans and shelters a young , destitute single mother and her child . The child, who has never met his own father and has a frayed relationship with his mother, follows in the footsteps of his father who was killed as a Maoist. The novel traverses through the souls of a generation whose hearts burned with passion to change the social landscape of the country. Equally haunting and gripping, Agunbela kindles a ‘ fire ‘ in all of us, a fire for a more just society.
