  Akhteruzzaman Elias

  আখতারুজ্জামান ইলিয়াস ছিলেন একজন বাংলাদেশি ঔপন্যাসিক এবং ছোটগল্পকার। তিনি মাত্র দুটি উপন্যাস রচনা করলেও সমালোচকরা তাঁকে একজন শ্রেষ্ঠ বাঙালি ঔপন্যাসিক হিসেবেই বিবেচনা করেন। এই দুটি উপন্যাসের বাইরে ইলিয়াস মাত্র তেইশটি ছোটগল্প এবং বাইশটি প্রবন্ধ লিখেছেন। ইলিয়াস সমাজ, রাষ্ট্র এবং জনগণের একজন একাগ্র পর্যবেক্ষক ছিলেন। তিনি তাঁর লেখার চরিত্রগুলোকে বিভিন্ন সামাজিক শ্রেণি এবং অবস্থানের প্রতীক হিসেবে সুদক্ষভাবে রূপায়ন করতেন। লেখার সময় তিনি চেষ্টা করতেন ঐতিহাসিকভাবে নির্ভুল থাকতে, ফলে তিনি পাঠকের স্বাচ্ছন্দ্যের চেয়ে লেখার অন্তর্নিহিত গুরুত্বকেই বেশি প্রাধান্য দিয়েছেন সবসময়। ক্যান্সারে আক্রান্ত হয়ে অকালমৃত্যুর ফলে তাঁর সৃজনশীল জীবন খুব দীর্ঘা‌য়িত হতে পারেনি, কিন্তু তাঁর লেখাগুলো বাংলা সাহিত্যে ধ্রুপদী সৃষ্টি হিসেবে স্থান পেয়েছে।
