Braziler Kalo Bagh by Satyajit Ray [Hardcover]

This book is a unique collection of "The Black Panther of Brazil" and four other thrilling translated stories. It would have been difficult to guess, if not explicitly stated, that among these major stories, three were originally written by Arthur Conan Doyle, and the other two by Arthur C. Clarke and Ray Bradbury.

The difficulty was not only due to the fact that Satyajit Ray translated these stories into Bengali with smooth, flowing language but also because the essence and sometimes the narrative style of the translated stories align closely with the mindset of the creators of Feluda and Shonku. The original stories include elements of mystery and science fiction—both genres where Satyajit Ray's expertise is well-known.

Each story is exceptional in taste and style. Some involve gruesome plots, others rational horror, some mysterious kidnappings, and some hints of science fiction blurring the lines of belief and disbelief. This book promises a fascinating and satisfying experience for readers of all ages. The cover of the book is illustrated by Satyajit Ray, with additional illustrations by Satyajit Ray and Prashant Mukhopadhyay.
