Banalata Sen ( Bengali Edition )

Banalata Sen is a volume of poems by Jibanananda Das. During Das's lifetime, it was published twice: first time in Poush 1349 Bengali calendar(December 1942 AD) with a cover by Sambhu Shaha including 12 poems, second time in Srabon 1359 Bengali calendar (1952 AD) an enlarged version with a cover by Satyajit Ray including 30 poems. Das named the volume after the poem: Banalata Sen, one of Das’s finest poems, certainly his most popular. In these poems, the love Das talks about crosses the boundaries of time and place and sometimes seems impersonal too.
