This enigmatic poem is attributed to Seng-t'san, the third Chinese patriarch of Zen, who died in 606 CE. The tone of the work is revealed in the opening stanza in which the patriarch recommends dynamic introspection as the ideal attitude in solving the apparent problems of life.

Talkhiyan literally means ‘bitterness’ and was written in the poet’s student days. He discovered his unique style of expression by weaving his poetry with shades of bitterness that captured the decadence of the contemporary world. His romanticism was not in praising beauty or the consuming passion of love, but in sensitively urging the reader to empathise with other challenges of the world. His heart went out to the suffering of people in war, debt, poverty, homelessness, political conflict and gender inequality.

夏。鎌倉の浜辺で、書生の「私」は「先生」に出会った……「彼岸過迄」「行人」に続く漱石後期三部作の最後を飾る長編。上・中・下の三部構成で、明治後期から大正期にかけての典型的知識階級、もしくは、漱石いうところの高等遊民の精神の葛藤を描いていく。日本近代小説がただストーリーを描くだけでなく、奥深い心理描写へと踏みこんでいくための礎となった作品ともいえる。二部では「私」と家族との葛藤、三部では「先生」からの手紙文という形式を使い、小説という形式での人の生死に対する漱石の深い考察が示される。近代文学の金字塔ともいうべき作品で、この作品を避けて現代の文学を語ることはできない。 【朗読者について】 「夢十夜」で深みのある朗読世界を聴かせてくれた女優の岩崎さとこが、難しい長編作品に取りくみました。とにかく、集中力をとぎらせることなく、最後までじっくりと読みきった力には、驚くべきものがあります。 【アイ文庫について】 プロによる高品質な文芸朗読作品を制作しているアイ文庫。プロデューサーを務める小説家・音楽家の水城雄のもと、朗読を音声による芸術表現として捉え、演劇的な要素が特徴の朗読で魅せるアーティスト集団・NPO法人現代朗読協会とともに、意欲作の創造に取り組んでいます。(C)アイ文庫 「ことのは出版オーディオブック作品一覧はhttp://www.kotonoha.co.jpにて」

Bhaskar Chakrabarti’s poetry is synonymous with the romantic melancholia inherent to Calcutta. His trenchant poetic voice was one of the most significant to emerge in the 1960s and ’70s—perhaps the most prolific period of modern Bengali poetry.
