Nur, leaving Bangladesh, flies to Nepal, from where he hopes to reach Europe. But the stay in Nepal lasts longer than expected and holds many surprises. The first hours are pleasant. The kindness of the first Nepalese he meets is memorable, as is the helicopter ride over the peaks of the Himalayas.
But then everything gets complicated ; for some mysterious reason, it's impossible to leave the country. And then begins a long succession of disappointments, red tape, harassment, threats, and then outright abuse inflicted by strangers and exhaustion of mind and body.
Ultimately, failing to obtain a visa and a ticket to France, Nur resigns himself to returning to Bangladesh. But, upon his arrival, the bandits who persecuted him there before his departure resume their threats, tortures, and poisoning attempts and seek to strip him and his family of their property.
Itis only after passing through Cairo and Barcelona that Nur finds France and Paris once again. -
Volume VII of Nur Alom's Play House continues the story of his struggles. After ten years living in France, he returns to the land of his birth, Bangladesh. Much has changed in his family home: his father has been killed, his reading hut is gone, the house has deteriorated, many of the trees are gone, and his sister-in-law Koruna, who now more or less rules the house, does not like his being there. She encourages others in the family to scheme against him, to get him married off and thereby to get all his wealth.
What follows is a long series of efforts by Koruna and her allies to marry him off, cheat him out of his wealth, and prevent him from returning to France. Will he ever get back to France? -
Play House, Volume VI, continues the story of Nur, who now decides to return to India and his homeland, Bangladesh, to visit his ailing mother, hopefully get her some medical treatment and visit his beloved father's grave. His troubles begin almost immediately upon his arrival in India, where he is denied a visa to enter Bangladesh, and is also denied a visa for his mother to come to Calcutta for medical treatment.
On top of that, he finds he is being followed by strangers, fed bad food in restaurants, and treated badly by waiters. He decides he will have to sneak into Bangladesh illegally, since his papers were stolen. And that turns out be to easier said than done.
Will Nur be successful in getting back to Shariatpur, and if he gets there, what will he find when he arrives?
Read on to discover the further adventures of our intrepid hero. -
