Those days (Sei somoy) -- First light (Prothom alo) -- The lonely emperor (Nisshongo Samrat).
Summary:
"This special omnibus edition brings together the three great historical novels Sunil Gangopadhyay wrote. The Bengal Renaissance forms the backdrop to the Sahitya Akademi Award-winning Those Days, in which a feudal aristocracy awakens to its social obligations. In its sequel, First Light, a turn-of-the-century Bengal, led by Rabindranath Tagore and Swami Vivekananda, awakens to a new, modern sensibility. And in The Lonely Emperor, the story of India's greatest professional stage actor Sisir Bhaduri, the past gives way to the present as the country gains independence." --cover page [4].
