A Bengali Prose Reader
Foreword
This reader, which was first produced 27 years ago in mimeograph form, is being
"republished" with the help of a generous grant from the Consortium for Language Teaching and
Learning. I am grateful to Emily Bloch and to Gwendolyn Layne, who retyped the reader onto
floppy disks, and to Tista Bagchi, who proofread the text and made many necessary corrections.
My thanks also go to Apple® and to all the Apple-compatible products that made this desk-top
publishing project possible.

A Bengali Prose Reader
from the Preface to the 1st Edition
This volume has been developed to meet the needs of the teaching program in Bengali at
the University of Chicago; the materials presented in it constitute a part of the training of second
year students in that language and have been selected and graded according to the success of
their trials in the classroom.
This reader is designed to follow directly upon the Introductory Bengali Reader ,
prepared by Somdev Bhattacharji as part II of An Introduction to Bengali . Under an ordinary
course schedule, i.e., six class-hours per week plus two hours per week in the language
laboratory, we have found that our students are ready to begin this
second-year reader in the middle of the second year of language study, or slightly before.
A number of people have given their time and effort to this book. Mr. Ronald Inden, an
advanced student of Bengali, has helped immeasurably in the arduous task of preparing the
glossary; Mrs. Arati John has helped in making notes for the brief biographical sketches which
appear before each selection, and together with Mrs. Nira Chatterji and Mrs. Julia Martin, has
typed the texts and glossary. To Mrs. Martin also we are grateful for help in preparing the
manuscript for reproduction. These are only some of the trying but necessary tasks which these
people have done, and for their competence and patience we are indebted to them.
Our thanks go also to the Ford Foundation, for its support of the Bengali and other South
Asian studies at the University of Chicago, and to the United States Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare, for material assistance in the development of Bengali and other teaching
materials at this University. Needless to say, however, neither of these agencies is responsible
for any of the materials presented herein, nor for the manner of their presentation.
