Dear Friend,
I have received your letter today. Thanks a lot for your
sweet letter. It is a great pleasure to state my experience of reading a book
which I have recently read.
It is Bibhutibhusan
Bandyopadhya's ‘Pather Panchali’. This novel is indeed a classic in Bengali
literature. The hardship, the joys and sorrows of a lower middle class family
in the countryside are vividly described in the novel. The story centres round
the poor family of Harihar Roy and his wife Sarbajaya, their son and daughter,
Apu and Durga who lives in a backward village named Nischindipur. It shows the
social condition in which Apu is born and brought up with constant struggle.
But it is not the plot itself, but deep insight into human character, which
have attracted me most. Special mention must also be made of the author’s love
for nature. By the magic touch of the pen of Bibhutibhusan, nature seems to be
living. We can almost smell the flowers in the woods and visualize the rural
life. It impresses me much.
Best regards to your parents and love to you. No more today.
Awaiting your reply.
Your loving friend,
XYZZ
