<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>The Poison Tree</i> (1873) is a novel by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee. Originally serialized in <i>Bangadarshan</i>, a popular literary magazine founded by Chatterjee in 1872 and later edited by Rabindranath Tagore, The Poison Tree is a story that engages with the subject of widow remarriage. "The river flowed smoothly on--leaped, danced, cried out, restless, unending, playful. On shore, herdsmen were grazing their oxen--one sitting under a tree singing, another smoking, some fighting, others eating. Inland, husbandmen were driving the plough, beating the oxen, lavishing abuse upon them, in which the owner shared." With his wife's blessing, Nagendra sets out on a journey by boat down the river. When a sudden storm forces him to leave his boat for safety, he comes across the ruined home of Kundanandini, a young widow caring for her father in his final days. When the old man dies, Kundanandini begs him to take her to Calcutta. As he begins to fall for the beautiful woman, he struggles with the demands of family, religion, and tradition, knowing that love wields power over them all. Tragic and timeless, <i>The Poison Tree</i> is a brilliant romance from a legendary figure in Bengali literature. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bankim Chandra Chatterjee's <i>The Poison Tree</i> is a classic of Bengali literature and utopian science fiction reimagined for modern readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>A wealthy man sets out on journey by boat toward Calcutta.
