Fakta

In "Folk-Tales of Bengal," Lal Behari Day presents a rich tapestry of oral narratives that encapsulates the cultural essence of Bengali society. These tales, steeped in folklore, offer a blend of fantasy and moral lessons, reflecting the deep-rooted traditions and beliefs of the region. Day's prose, both lyrical and accessible, transports readers into a vibrant world of mythical creatures, everyday villagers, and profound wisdom, showcasing the unique interplay between human experience and nature that defines Bengali storytelling. This anthology situates itself within the broader literary context of the 19th-century renaissance in India, emphasizing the significance of folk narratives in preserving cultural heritage amidst colonial challenges. Lal Behari Day, a prominent figure in Bengali literature, was deeply influenced by the socio-political climate of his time. His engagement with local customs and his commitment to documenting the oral traditions of his homeland stem from a desire to elevate the Bengali voice within Indian literature. As a pioneering storyteller and translator, Day aimed to bridge the gap between traditional folklore and modern literary forms, contributing extensively to both cultural preservation and the evolution of Bengali narrative styles. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of Bengali folklore. Not only does it serve as an essential resource for scholars of South Asian literature, but it also offers a delightful escape for casual readers. "Folk-Tales of Bengal" invites you to explore its pages and discover timeless stories that resonate with universal themes of humanity, morality, and the interconnectedness of life.
