Date of broadcast: October 09, 2026 Experience the breathtaking beauty of a Mediterranian island through our evocative audio adaptation of “The Lotus Eater”, now a part of World Classics on Mirchi Bangla. While visiting a friend on the island of Capri, our narrator meets a man named Thomas Wilson. Beneath his prosaic appearance hides a fiery romantic soul. The narrator is astonished to learn about Wilson’s passion for the island’s beauty, and his determination to lead a life of freedom, no matter how precarious. But what is the cost of his freedom? And can Wilson pay the price? ইতালীর ক্যাপরি দ্বীপে এক বন্ধুর কাছে ছুটি কাটাতে গিয়ে গল্পের কথকের দেখা হয় টমাস উইলসনের সঙ্গে। উইলসনের আটপৌরে চেহারার অন্তরে লুকিয়ে আছে এক গভীর কবিসত্তা। তার প্রকৃতি প্রেম আর স্বাধীন হয়ে বাঁচতে চাওয়ার অদম্য ইচ্ছের কথা জেনে আশ্চর্য হয় গল্পের কথক। কিন্তু সে জানে, চরম স্বাধীনতার মূল্যও বড় সাংঘাতিক। সেই মূল্য কি আদৌ দিতে পারবে উইলসন? তেমন মনের জোর কি তার সত্যিই আছে?
