A Book I Have Recently Read

Reading book is my passion. I have read many books. I have recently read a book named ' Pather Panchali'. It was written by famous writer Bibhutibhusan Bandyopadhyay. It is my favourite book.The main characters of the book are Apu, Durga, Harihar and Sarbajaya. It is a touching account of a boy's growing up from childhood to adolescence. It is a story of a poor family. Harihar and Sarbajaya, a rustic couple passed their days in miserable distress. But they dreamt of a rosy future. Durga died a premature death. It was a great shock to the family. One cannot help shedding tears when one reads about the death of Apu's dearest sister Durga. The book gives a very living picture of the beauty of a remote village in Bengal in minute details. The story reminds us the hardship of the thousands of poor and helpless people of our country. Really it is an immortal creation of Bibhutibhusan Bandyopadhyay. Reading the book is altogether an unforgettable experience.
