Dr Anwarul Karim’s two books, The Ballad of a Patriot and Water and Culture in Bangladesh, Past and present have been selected for Frankfurt International Book Fair, Germany beginning on October 14 this year, according to a press release.  
The Ballad of a Patriot is based on the life and legacy of Bangabandhu. His murder corresponds to the murder of a Patriot who made his country free in Victorian England and later was falsely hanged by a group of conspirators.
Bangabandhu had almost the similar fate of Browning’s Ptriot. He fought for the country and also braved death a number of times and finally the country was liberated under his leadership after a 9-month war against the Pakistani Army Junta. He was in Pakistani Jail facing death for treason. The world -pressure forced Pakistan to release him. He was given a big ovation almost as it was given to Browning’s Patriot when he reached his country after it was made free in 1973. But after two years, he was killed by a handful of army personnel motivated by the conspirators both national and international to the utter dismay of the general people.
Dr. Karim exposed the conspirators against Bangabandhu and epitomized Bangabandhu as the great leader of all times and of all ages.
The book was published in August, 2020 to celebrate the hundred year birth anniversary of Bangabandhu (1920-2020). Water and Culture was published in 2016. Both the books have been widely acclaimed by the scholars at both home and abroad.One of the foreign diplomats working in Bangladesh disclosed that the book would help the foreigners know the country about her people and culture.
Professor Dr. Anwarul Karim is presently working as Executive Director, Bangabandhu Research Center and Professor of English, Northern University Bangladesh. The Center is approved by the Honorable Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina.
