One of the most distinguished authors and translators of contemporary times, Asim Chattopadhyay spent his early youth in the turbulent and incendiary days of the 1970s, driven by a desire for social change. In later life, he took up editing and translation as his profession, while continuing his creative literary pursuits alongside. He has documented his experiences of a revolutionary life in his novel Pub Akash Lal. He is also the first person to translate Henry Lewis Morgan’s seminal work Ancient Society into Bengali. At present, he is the chief editor of Setu Prakashani.
