Description
Krishna Kantaâ?Ts Will (1878) is a novel by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee. Recognized as a pioneering work of Bengali literature with universal romantic themes, Krishna Kantaâ?Ts Will is a story that engages with the subjects of widow remarriage, land ownership, and heredity in Hindu culture. â?oIf Krishna Kanta had ever desired to cheat his brother's son, and appropriate the entire property, there was now no obstacle in his way. But he had no such evil intention. He placed Gobind LA¢l with his own family, and treated him in all respects like his own sons; he determined to draw up a will bequeathing to Gobind LA¢l the half-share justly belonging to RA¢m KA¢nta RA¢i.â?? Raised in a loving home, orphan Gobind LA¢l hopes to carry on his fatherâ?Ts legacy while honoring his uncle, who could have cut him out of the will entirely. Married to the beautiful Bhramar, he seems to have a life of fortune ahead of him. Meanwhile, Krishna Kantaâ?Ts sons, outraged at their fatherâ?Ts generosity, hatch a plan to switch the will with one they have written, employing the seductive widow Rohini to do their dirty work. Tragic and timeless, Krishna Kantaâ?Ts Will 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 Chatterjeeâ?Ts Krishna Kantaâ?Ts Will is a classic of Bengali literature and utopian science fiction reimagined for modern readers.
