Description

Translated by Dr. Tapan K. Panda, "Dawn after the Long Night" is English translation of eminent Odia novelist Dr. Gourahari Das's powerful and popular novel "Eithu Arambha". The novel portrays the struggle of a woman who didn't give up despite all the difficulties in life. Urbashi, the protagonist of the story, is a bold character and sets an example for the other women in society to fight back despite all odds. The novel depicts the pain, suffering, and agony that a woman goes through when rejected by her near and dear ones. This is where we learn a lesson. Pain is to be expected, courage to be welcomed, and no choice but to endure. There is no other way than to renounce self-doubt. In this male-dominated society, fighting back and surviving is an arduous task, but nothing is impossible when you get the support of a companion like Pulak. You will never feel alone when you run down the stairs of loneliness and have a faithful companion.
