Ei Sab Din Ratri by Kaushik Majumdar [Hardcover]

In the thirty-six essays of this book, the author Kaushik Majumder wanders from subject to subject in a peculiarly inimitable prose. Count Dracula, Hercule Poirot, Feluda to Megasthenes, Jaldhar Sen, the lost travelogue of Bholanath Chandra, typographer Upendra Kishore or David Lowe's cartoons have been discussed in it. From Bengali lost board games, Pythagorean formula, cinema language, history of cartoons, strip comics, the origins of fonts to anecdotes of Indian women's veils – nothing is left out of the author's inquisitive eye. All in all, such a deep but pure compilation is rare nowadays. The book is written in Bengali and provides a profound exploration of daily life, encapsulating various aspects of human experiences and emotions.
