Flaming Eventide

Mostofa Kamal-2's 'Flaming Eventide' opens with Professor Humayun Kabir in a state of complete shock. He receives a telephone call and stands erect for a long time, then sits on the cot. Gradually his complexion grows pale like a black cloud. Just moments ago the building was shaking with his loud laughter, and suddenly that same man has exited within the gap of a few moments. He turns into a man without consciousness.

Agony gradually becomes visible in the fold of his forehead. His nose sweats, his veins and arteries move at an unnatural speed. He becomes very impatient and restless, something never seen in him before. He was always known as a man of cool, soft and determined nature. The question hangs in the air: was he really so? A gripping psychological opening that pulls the reader into the mystery.
