After I've seen "Jana-Aranya" I had longed to read the book with a feeling may be to better understand the characters. But after going thru the story I discovered not one but two stories - one penned by author and the other by the director which is not only different although a masterpiece but is a merely an adaptation only.
The life of an educated ordinary yet honest unemployed youth turned mediocre businessman who not only witnesses the dark steps towards success but ultimately boards them remains central to the plot. With this revolves several parallel themes that rediscovers the life of order suppliers in their various avatars. Also the socioeconomic condition of the society is revealed that disrobes the social and sophisticated standings of the people. Thus its significance is still apparent and remains as a timeless warning to society and their politics.
The Jayjayanti edition has added attractions of the writer's autograph and the stories behind the story that inspired the author to create the characters for which debt is due to that anonymous lady who convinced the author to reveal them.
