Chapter 13 is totally transcendent; probably the greatest chapter among all bengali literatures.

Titulo: Devdas
Autor: Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay
Año publicado: 1917
Motivo de lectura: -
Lectura / Relectura: Lectura
Fisico / Electronico: Electronico
Mi edicion: -
Idioma: Ingles
Puntuacion: 5/5
Esta novela esta considerada como un clasico de la India, con al menos 16 adaptaciones (tanto en cine como en tv).
Sumergirse en esta historia es una travesia peligrosa, donde las fibras de tu corazon quedan expuestas a un dolor constante. Y si, Devdas es una novela con un comun denominador dramatico para sus personajes. El dolor y la tristeza es la esencia de cada escenario. La embriaguez que otorgan las lagrimas de un corazon roto.
El caos, la locura, lo irreversible toma asiento y presencia la danza demencial de la perdida de cada sentido, del momento donde ya nada vale la pena. Donde la destruccion del propio ser es la unica opcion.
Tanto la construccion como el desarrollo de los personajes es excelente, pero lo magnifico de Devdas es la manera en que se desarolla la historia. La pluma de Chattopadhyay es excelsa, magnifica, sin lugar a errores o debilidades. La historia jamas decae, de ritmo constante, y el unico pecado que le encuentro es su corta extension.

We all know the story of Devdas and paro. I have read this book in my own mother tongue. Let me warn you if you have never watched the movie or read this book. It is a very emotional story. It is small length wise but heavy content wise.
Such amazing storytelling.
I haven't given it a 5 star because it was not mind changing or very shocking. It was good, emotional and used all the good words that can be there.
Recommended to everyone 😊

absolutely beautiful and gut wrenching but there were so many moments where I was questioning everyone's sanity at having fallen in love with someone like devdas and while I agree that none should die like he did,, he was an asshole that I absolutely wanted to strangle.
