Chaturanga (Tagore novel)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chaturanga[1] (Bengali: চতুরঙ্গ; English: Quartet) is a novel by Rabindranath Tagore, widely considered[by whom?] a landmark in Bengali literature.[2] The novel was published in 1916.[3][4] The story of the novel follows the journey of a young man named Sreebilas (the narrator), his meeting with his best friend, philosopher, and guide Sachis, and the story of Damini a widow, and Jyathamoshai, an idealist person.[2]

The novel consists of four chapters, each named after the main characters of the novel. Thus, it is named Chaturanga, which in Sanskrit means "four parts," a "quartet."

The film Chaturanga, based on the novel, was released in 2008.[5]
