Abstract
Being a social animal, human being has a close relationship with nature. Recently the green look of nature is faded away day by day and we now feel the need of environmental advocacy. This paper attempts to show how nature is treated in Bibhutibhushan’s The Mountain of the Moon (Chander Pahar ,1937), a fiction that is based on a daring adventure of young Bengali man, Shankar Roy Choudhury. Bibhutibhushan’s search for the varied forms of nature- the wild, the spiritual and the beautiful- shows his interest in his study of nature with perfect accuracy and minute details. The present paper is a study to look back at Bibhutibhushan’s tribute to nature in his seminal text The Mountain of the Moon.
Keywords- Nature, Environment, Wild, Beautiful, Spiritual.
