Hasina's new book hits book fair today

One more book by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will hit this year's Amar Ekushey Book Fair beginning at Bangla Academy in the capital today.

The book comprises Sheikh Hasina's 13 articles published at different times on contemporary politics in Bangladesh.

The book "Nirbachita Probandha" (selected essays) will be available at pavilion no. 13 from the first day of the book fair.

 Hasina will inaugurate the book fair at a function on the premises of Bangla Academy at 3:00pm.

Published by Agami Prokashani, the price of the book is TK 350.

Emeritus Professor Rafiqul Islam has written in the book's introduction, "As a writer, Sheikh Hasina is mainly an essayist. In particular, she is a political narrator. Her 'Nirbachita Probandha' carries the thoughts, mentality and attitudes of Bangladesh's most important political personality. For this reason, the importance of the book is immense."

Agami Prokashani earlier published 13 collections of articles by Sheikh Hasina. Those include "Sheikh Mujib Amar Pita" (Sheikh Mujib my father) and "Sadakalo" (black-white).

Besides, her books "Living in Tears," "People and Democracy," "Democracy Poverty Alleviation and Peace" and "Democracy in Distress Demands Humanity" have been reprinted.
