A Saga of Dreams, Betrayal, and Redemption
by Subir Roy
The story of this book relates to the life of the protagonist, Prabuddha, which, like many others, has been a bouquet of agony and ecstasy.
Born into a family of landed gentry in colonial India, his ambition was to become an academic. However unbelievable it may appear, the story narrates his struggles and the events that ultimately threw him onto the glamorous stage of the corporate world. His success generated bitter rivalry that subjected him to humiliation and despair. This compelled him to bid an untimely farewell to his job, making him feel both happy and relieved.
