About the Author

Saratchandra Chattopadhyay (15 September 1876-16 January 1938) was one of the most celebrated Bengali novelists and short story writers of the early twentieth century. Born in Debanandapur, Bengal, he grew up in poverty, which deeply influenced his sensitivity towards social issues. His works often depicted the struggles of ordinary people, especially women, against the rigid norms of a patriarchal society. He wrote extensively about Bengali society, both rural and urban, capturing themes of love, sacrifice, injustice and reform. His notable works include Devdas, Parineeta, Srikanta, Pather Dabi and Charitraheen, many of which have been adapted into films.
