| 520 | |a The story takes the reader through Apu's school days at the village. His thirst for knowledge and an insatiable desire to see the world drive him to the city where he joins a college for higher education, for the first time in his life he has to battle not just poverty but also the complexities of human relationships and other harsh realities of life, without support or assistance from anywhere. After his mother's death, a tragic marriage and years of carefree living, Apu finally realises his responsibilities and returns to his roots accompanied by his-like minded son, Kajal. In describing Apu and his mother's grim struggle with poverty. Their loneliness and other disappointments in life. Bandopadhyay might have turned Aparatjito into a tale of woe. What does, in fact is just the opposite. It remains truly the story of an unvanquished spirit that rises through all sorrows and grief like a phoenix, triumphant in its ability to retain hope at all times. | ||
