In the sixties, when the poet Sunil Gangopadhyay wrote his first novel 'Yuvakyuvati'ra Apan Khayale, without the urge to print anywhere, then various aspects of Bengali novels took place. Not in the shade of romance; In introspection, in self-absorption, we see the characters of the story of this period seeking liberation. Young people are out to find the meaning of life. Just like themselves. However, the rhythm of life has been broken, words have lost their former meaning. Yet the reader was not mistaken in recognizing their arti. This context was characterized by Sunil Gangopadhyay himself as 'unexplained unrest'. This restlessness was rooted in the deep pain of seeking experience. Fiction writer Sunil Gangopadhyay made his seminal debut in 'Atmaprakash'. The way he started his journey across the limitless geography of Bengali fiction from this novel is amazing. Sunil Gangopadhyay is an institution in the world of Bengali novels. The knowledge of a successful novelist, the craft of characterisation, the creation of a perfect human figure, the sense of time, the sense of values, the skill of choosing different stories, the perplexity of asking questions about life, the search for truth, beauty - all these were his accomplishments. He is unique and brilliant in every aspect. His novels are the wealth of Bengali fiction. From his first novel to the novels written at the beginning of the 21st century, Sunil is equally alive and vibrant. All the novels of Sunil Gangopadhyay have been arranged to be published in installments. Fifteen volumes of the entire novel have already been published. This time the whole novel is 16. This volume contains Prothom Alo (Part II ending from Chapter 64), 'The Story of Garbandipur', 'Pravasi Pakhi' and 'Survival'.
