Here I present: Saratchandra Chattopadhyay শরৎচন্দ্র চট্টোপাধ্যায় ,”Devdas” দেবদাস ,1917, PART TWO (II).

SUMMARY.

Devdas is a young man who is in love with Paro. They have been together since childhood, and their love spans their entire life. However, Paro’s parents have other plans for her. They want to marry her off to another man, and this marriage will prove destructive to Devdas sanity. His grief, and the story of his drunken stupor as he pines for his beloved Paro, is a classic story that has been told and retold throughout the decades since its first release. The English translation brings out the wonder and tragedy of the original Bengali novel for a new generation of readers.
