Between Two Worlds

Between Two Worlds is an anthology. Here is included eleven notable short stories of Selina Hossain. Translations have been done by seven translators of Bangladesh and West Bengal. These original Bengali short stories had earlier been published in different journals. Even after conceding that it is not easy to communicate the thoughts and feelings of one language in another, it will appear that the translations are lucid and highly readable. No doubt this Anthology will be a significant addition in the realm of the translation genre of Bengali literature. Selina Hossain holds an unassailable position as one of the leading writers of Bangladesh. Though preeminently a novelist, she is equally celebrated as a writer of short stories. We believed that translation works of Bengali literature into English is a pressing necessity and deserves more attention on the part of all concerned.
