About this ebook

 The multi faceted personality of Agarkar was adorned with qualities like purity, nobility and magnificence. He performed every role ideally including that of a student, teacher, writer, editor and a social reformer. His personal characteristics were reflected in his writing and teaching effectively and strongly. His vision, love for truth, fervour, solicitude, etc. were blended harmoniously in his writing. He is one of the topmost essay writers among the Marathi writers. It is not just his art of expressing but his skill as a writer and a profound thinker that made his work so impressive. His strong affection towards society helped him create wonders with words. He tried intently to make this world a better place for all to survive well. He might not have studied the true form of an essay or its techniques but he had definitely given a strong consideration to the reasons that tied us to slavery for years to come. His writing is thought provoking and is based on his intent study of society.  Agarkar aimed to awaken the society. Unintentionally, he mastered many aspects of good literature writing. He considered his pen as a sword and his words as ultimate power.

मराठी साहित्यातील अलौकिक प्रतिभेचे कवी, नाटककार आणि विनोदकार वैâ. राम गणेश गडकरी यांच्या जीवनपटाच्या पाश्र्वभूमीवर श्री. वि. स. खांडेकरांनी चितारलेले हे वाङ्मयात्मक, परंतु यथार्थ व्याqक्तचित्र आहे. हा मूळ ग्रंथ वैâ. गडकNयांच्या मृत्यूनंतर सुमारे बारा वर्षांनी १९३२ मध्ये प्रथम प्रसिद्ध झाला. त्याची सुधारित आवृत्ती १९४७ मध्ये प्रसिद्ध झाली. त्यानंतर पन्नास वर्षांनी, १९९७ मध्ये तिसरी आवृत्ती प्रसिद्ध झाली आणि आता या पुस्तकाचे पुनर्मुद्रण होत आहे, ते वाचकांच्या आणि अभ्यासकांच्या सततच्या मागणीमुळेच. या ग्रंथात श्री. गडकNयांच्या सर्व प्रकारच्या साहित्याचे विस्तृत समालोचन असले, तरी प्राधान्याने त्यांच्या नाटकांवरच अधिक भर देण्यात आला आहे.
