This collection of novels contains six works by Bimal Kar. Although written in the first phase of the author's literary career, there is no way to deny its importance and diversity. They are as distinct and colorful in character as the six seasons of the year. Let's take for example the novel 'Jeenayan'. Just a story of a day. Morning to evening — ten to twelve hours — during this time a new environment and nature. In the background, there are numerous characters and their joys and happiness, happiness and sadness, pride and anger, dreams and disappointments. But these fragments are not all, but a full glimpse of life is captured here—when, despite the exuberance, happiness, there is a painful intersection of death. This is an accurate picture of life. Along with the superficiality, sweetness, youthful vibrancy of the novel 'Prichoy', there is a melancholy story of an unsatisfied life. 'Kharkuto' is a very famous work of the author. Widely read and discussed. There is no doubt that the main emotion of the novel is love, but 'Kharkuto' is not just a story of love. The religion that can make a dying girl as sick as a blunderbuss assure and believe in the love of life—how little is that worth! The charm of this story has not diminished even in three long ages. The other three novels — 'Nirvasan', 'Pampara', 'Emika' — are very significant because they are faithful accounts of the deepest consciousness of human life — the constant dilemmas, resentments, injustices, sorrows and guilt that plague him. These essays. 'Nibberson' seems to be the author's first work in which the painful picture of self-abnegation and loneliness of a young handsome man is deeply revealed. How ridiculous is society's standard of judging truth and falsity, or why the heartless hero of this novel is so lonely! All features of Bimal Kar as a writer are available here. These six readable novels together will undoubtedly satisfy the reader.
