Shrikanta (Akhanda)

Shrikanta is one of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s longest and most ambitious novels, told in four parts as a kind of fictional memoir of its narrator. Shrikanta as a character is unsettled, romantic, and unable to commit, and the book follows him across many years and many places.

If you have only read Devdas or Parineeta, Shrikanta shows a wider Sarat Chandra. The akhanda edition collects all four parts in one book.
