LF Books India is a publication house of a large and heterogeneous association  receptive to a variety of topics, whether scholarly or popular without any biased perspective. Saileswar Ghosh, an anarchist poet of Hungry Generation, who has not enjoyed lavish praise and a mass of prizes during his poetical journey, created a furore jeopardizing the basic concept and structure of Bengali poetry.With other foot soldiers of Hungry Generation movement he threw himself into every thing, with his typical hungry language disapprobated by the bourgeois standardization of literature.Rightly said by Howard McCord, with regard to hungry poets (Their poems record the ugly numbing truth that most men delight in their horrors).In this most ambitious project, we like to introduce Saileswar to neo Avant-garde readers in a many of his oeuvre that reveal as much about the author and his own works as they do about his concept of poetry, contemporary literature and glorious global thoughts.The linguistic alienation, the resultant effect of imperialism, is obviously absent in Saileswar Ghosh.His poetry has explored a literal geographical displacement causing a destabilizing effect on Bengali readers of poetry.So, this is one essential book for every reader who wants a group of poets who once challenged the existing canon and dominate ideas of literature and culture.

Known as the only iconoclast of bengali literature, the works of Subimal Mishra have always created a jarring effect on the readers. Like a true heretic, he broke the walls of conventions of bengali literature by using the cut up method of William Burroughs in his unique way. Highly influenced by the movies of Jean-Luc Godard and Sergei Eisenstein, he kept on experimenting by using film language in his writings. In 2015, Bagher Bachcha 1 Subimal Mishra Sankhya was published in Kolkata Bookfair. In 2019, Bagher Bachcha 5: Fire Dekha Subimal Mishra Sankhya. Both of these magazines are well appreciated by the readers and were completely sold within two years of publication. But readers keep on enquiring about these two magazines. Liber fieri publishing house has taken the responsibility of selecting choicest creations of essayists and critiques published on those two magazines. Under the patronage and editing skills of Swapan Ranjan Haldar, all these works will be published  in two separate parts. These books will be much more than just a different read. It will offer a crucial ray of light that makes you a better reader and stronger appreciator of bengali literature.

The band owed its name to Jibanananda Das, a renowned poet of Bengali literature who subverted the language of Bengali poetry in his own style. In the late 70s a Bengali band started  a musical journey mesmerizing the bengali audience who had no access  to such music till then. This way Mohiner Ghoraguli came into existence whose diction of lyrics and singing style ushered in a new anesthetics.Snuffing out the traditional structure of music of the older generation, their songs animated  the community of the youth and transmitted the spirit of a higher ineffable vitalism.Under the legendary leadership of Goutam chattopadhyay Mohin started their journey self-reflexively in the aftermath of a failed, revolutionary venture experiencing a crisis of faith. Their music has a rupturing effect on the bengali listeners who dispassionately observed the whole scenario from a distance and they have relinquished any coherent claims for pure music. They did not have to contemplate an assured future.Their searching was to find out the real identity with the varied layers of generational perspective. Under the impressive guidance of Goutam chattopadhyay, Mohin was a band woven into the collective action of indeterminate “we”. Disenchantment with the precarious surround, the politics of music was very obvious in their songs.
