Sahidul Jahirer ‘Mukher Dike DEkhi’ : Jadu Bastober Anweshan/ শহীদুল জহিরের ‘মুখের দিকে দেখি’ : জাদু বাস্তবের অন্বেষণ

Abstract

What is ‘Magic Realism’? What is the source of ‘Magic Realism’? Who did first use this term? Is there any manifesto of it? What is ‘Baroque’ asthetics? Classification of ‘Baroque’. Similarities between ‘Baroque’ and ‘Magic Realism’. Why did ‘Magic Realism’ boom in 20th Century, just after of first world war? I have searched and analysed so many of question of like these in this article. I also discussed difference between fairy tales and magic realism, the difference between absurd and magic realism. J. A. Cuddon gave some characteristics of magical realism in the book named ‘Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory’. I tried to give example of this characteristics. There is a novel of renowned novelist Sahidul Jahir named ‘Mukher Dike dekhi’. At first i have discussed the story of this novel in brief, then started to analyse it with a magnifying glass. He is not only tell a story with a fuzzy vision but also describes it with a hazy outline. The style of story-telling is very much unpredictable. In this area he is a unique guy in whole Bengali literature. No one like him ever come in whole era of Bengali literature. Why I am telling this? Anybody can get his answer after reading my analytical approach. He is very much deserved the praise, that is ‘Bangladesher Maquez’ or ‘Marquez of Bengladesh’, from my aspects it is not only for Bangladesh but also for ‘Bengali Literature’
