Premendra Mitra ((ベンガル語:প্রেমেন্দ্র মিত্র); 1904–1988) was a renowned Bengali poet, novelist, short story and thrillers writer and film director. He was also Bengal's most famous practitioners of science fiction in its own language. His critique of humanity led him to believe that for it to survive, human beings had to "forget their differences and be united".〔Bridges to Breakthroughs: Tracing the Genealogy of the Indian Science. Shradha Kabra, The Criterion, an International Journal in English, December 2012, Vol.III, Iss.IV, ISSN: 0976-8165〕 ==Life== He was born in Varanasi, India where his father Gyanendranath Mitra was an employee of the Indian Railways and because of that he had the opportunity to travel to many places in India. Having lost his mother, who died during his childhood, he was brought up by his grandparents in Uttar Pradesh and speant his later life in Kolkata & Dhaka. He was a student of South Suburban School (Main) and enrolled for a BA at the Scottish Church College〔''Some Alumni of Scottish Church College'' in ''175th Year Commemoration Volume''. Scottish Church College, April 2008, p. 590〕 in Kolkata which he left prematurely to study agriculture in Santiniketan with a friend of Rabindranath Tagore, Leonard Elmhirst Not holding his interest, he returned to education first on an undergraduate course in Dhaka and in 1925 at Asutosh College in Kolkata where he assisted the research of Dinesh Chandra Sen.〔Premendra Mitra Mindscape (Bengali), Sahitya Akademi, 2000〕 During his initial years, he (unsuccessfully) aspired to be a physician and studied the natural sciences. Later he started out as a school teacher. He even tried to make a career for himself as a businessman, but he was unsuccessful in that venture as well. At a time, he was working in the marketing division of a medicine producing company. After trying out the other occupations, in which he met marginal or moderate success, he rediscovered his talents for creativity in writing and eventually became a Bengali author and poet. Married to Beena Mitra in 1930, he was, by profession, a Bengali professor at City College in north Kolkata. He spent almost his entire life in a house at Kalighat, Kolkata. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Premendra Mitra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
