Sharatchandra Chattopadhyay has been the most popular writer of
novels and short stories in his native Bengaland in India at large.
Despite this, he remains unrecognized in the English speaking
world. Narasingha P. Sil fills this void by presenting a historical
critical assessment of his upbringing and the experiences that
influenced his masterful and magnificent work. The Life of
Sharatchandra Chattopadhyay rescues the authentic man, a
caste-conscious and patriarchal Brahmin of colonial Bengal, from
the cuckoo land of gratuitous praise and panegyric showered on the
Aparajeya Kathasilpi, the "invincible" wordsmith. The author
exposes Sharatchandra's innate conservative worldview and his
romantic platonic concept of human sexuality that inform all his
love stories. In many respects Sharatchandra resembles his
formidable European forbear, Jean Jacques Rousseau of Enlightenment
France. The concluding chapter of Sil's biographical study
introduces this pioneering comparison between the two men-a
veritable tour de force.
