Sabujpatar Dak by Haritkrishna Deb [Hardcover]

"Written in a narrative style, this lively and exceptional book’s feature is not only confined to highlighting a nearly forgotten chapter. The light spreads from topic to topic, not getting lost in the crowd but illuminating the eternal path of tireless exploration. In 1959, during its serial publication in 'Desh' magazine, 'Sabujpatar Dak' captivated readers of all levels. This work by Haritkrishna Dev is essentially a multi-angular conversation, irresistibly appealing to witty, intelligent, knowledge-seeking, and life-curious readers. It is difficult to categorize this book under a specific branch of literature. Although primarily based on reminiscences, the book encompasses numerous topics—our heritage and culture, ancient history, coins, scripts, classical doctrines, fine arts, music, literature, modern life consciousness, and above all, human relationships—which have effortlessly crossed the boundaries of time and place in the quest for truth. Through the author's extraordinary sense of humor and skillful use of language, the easy presentation of complex and difficult subjects remains equally vibrant even after thirty-six years."
