Rate this book
चंद्रकांता- देवकीनंदन खत्री कृत उपन्यास 'चद्रंकाता' एक शुद्ध लौकिक प्रेम कहानी है जिसमें तिलिस्मी और ऐयारी के अनेक चमत्कार पाठक को चमत्कृत करते हैं। 'चद्रंकाता' ऐसी औपन्यासिक रचना है जिसने जनसाधारण में उपन्यास पढ़ने की प्रवृत्ति जागृत की एवं पहली बार हिन्दी पाठकों को कथा रस से अवगत कराकर उन्हें अभिभूत कर लिया।
चंद्रकांता संतति (छह भाग में) - 'चद्रंकांता संतति' द्वेष, घृणा एवं ईर्ष्या पर प्रेम के विजय की महागाथा है जिसने उन्नीसवीं शताब्दी के अंतिम दशकों में धूम मचा दी थी। देवकीनदंन खत्री के उपन्यास को पढ़ने के लिए लाखों लोगों ने हिन्दी सीखी थी। करोड़ों लोगों ने इन्हें चाव के साथ पड़ा था और आज तक पढ़ते आ रहे हैं? हिन्दी की घटना प्रधान तिलिस्म और ऐयारी उपन्यास-परपंरा के ये एकमात्र प्रवर्तक और प्रतिनिधि उपन्यास हैं। कल्पना की ऐसी अद्भुत उड़ान और कथा-रस की मार्मिकता इन्हें हिन्दी साहित्य की विशिष्ठ रचनाएं सिद्ध करती है।

About the author

Babu Devakinandan Khatri

80 books57 followers
After his earlier education, Devkinandan Khatri moved to Tekari Estate in Gaya. He became an employee of the Raja of Benares. He started a printing press called "Lahari" and started a Hindi monthly, "Sudarshan", in 1898. The various works of Khatri and his son Durga Prasad were republished by Lahari Press in the early 21st century. Lahari Press is still in existence in Ramkatora (Pisnahariya Kuwan)very close to area called Lahurabeer in Varanasi.

Khatri made a strong contribution to the learning of the Hindi language by the people of the times. People were so mesmerised by the works Chandrakanta, Chandrakanta Santati and Bhootnath that they started to learn Hindi just to be able to read the works. Khatri did not write any work at one go and then publish the same. He used to write "bayaans" - chapters - on the run from the British and these were published and distributed widely. People would await the new "bayaans" and congregate around those who could read Hindi to hear the latest exploits in the continuing saga.

Just awesome as usual. Not too many secrets. But cliffhanger is outstanding

Into the third novel of the series, but it still maintains the pace and the mystery. Hard to put down once you pick it up.
