It endeavours to make an analysis of the novels of Bhattacharya for mainly two social problems: class relationship and decadent values and finally highlights a cogent view of how the novelist wants the history of the country to shape itself. The volume successfully establishes the relationship between Bhattacharya's life and fiction. It not only analyses the ills and anomalies eating into vitals of society but also discovers the philosophy, suggested by the novelist, to mitigate social tensions and restore harmony.
It analyses and comments competently on Bhattacharya's universal brotherhood, his humanism and his emphasis on the richness of human spirit to help others at the cost of one's own life and his advocacy ofjudicious synthesis of divergent values of life as an effective social panacea. This hook also makes a critique on Bhattacharya's six novels depicting contemporary social, political, economic and religious realities of India before and after independence. It also highlights his plea for the social and moral function of art and for reality and truth in literature and also his marvellous use of contemporary events for writing novels.
