A College Street-district publisher that returns 19th-century Bengali prose, plays and local histories to print.
Pustak Bipani is a Kolkata publisher at 27 Beniatola Lane, in the College Street book district. For more than four decades it has brought nineteenth-century Bengali writing back into print in edited editions.
Its list includes Ramnarayan Tarkaratna's 1854 play Kulin Kulasarbaswa, Kedarnath Datta's 1871 satire Sachitra Guljarnagar, Chandranath Basu's Pashupati-Sambad, Biharilal Sarkar's 1897 Titumir and Sachishchandra Chattopadhyay's life of Bankim, most of them edited by scholars such as Alok Ray and Swapan Basu. Beside them sit district histories like Nadia Kahini and Pabna Jelar Itihas, Sukumar Sen's book on Bengal's place-names, and Sudhir Chakraborty's studies of Bengal's minor sects and their songs.
The house is still active; Sudhir Chakraborty's recent books have come from it.
