The Tale of My
Exile: Twelve Years in the Andamans — Barindra Kumar Ghose
ISBN: 978-81-7058-991-4 Publisher: Sri Aurobindo
Ashram Publication Department, Pondicherry
Barindra Ghose, Sri Aurobindo’s younger brother, was
sentenced to death in 1909 in the Alipore Bomb Case, a sentence later commuted
to transportation for life in the Cellular Jail at Port Blair in the Andamans.
He was released from there in January 1920 as part of a general amnesty. Told
with honesty and humour, this book is the story of his imprisonment with some
of his fellow revolutionaries, from the Alipore Jail to the hold of the SS
Maharaja to the Cellular Jail and a hard life of deprivation, forced labour,
and humiliation by the prison authorities. Translated from the original Bengali
into English by Nolini Kanta Gupta and first published in 1922, this new
edition includes an introduction and editorial notes.
Anandamath —
Bankim Chandra Chatterjee
ISBN: 978-81-85289-13-7 Publisher: Ashir Prakashan, Saharanpur
The famous Bengali novel Anandamath was first
published in 1882. It is set in Bengal during
the famine of 1770 and tells the story of an armed band of Sannayasis who lead
a rebellion against the British East India Company. The book later became a
symbol for the struggle for independence and its well-known hymn Bande Mataram
a rallying cry for the freedom movement. Bankim’s writing was much admired by
Sri Aurobindo, and his translation of the Prologue and the first thirteen
chapters of Part I of Anandamath first appeared in the Karmayogin. The rest of
the work was translated by his brother Barindra. This book is a reprint of an
earlier edition which contained both their translations.
