Duel by Mayukh Chowdhury [Hardcover]

A masterpiece from the genius of the late Mayukh Chowdhury, Duel is a compilation of stories based on encounters between man and animal and also between human beings themselves. A must-read for the depth and how very well the vulnerability of man and animals alike is highlighted. Duel! Duel! Sometimes people-calling, calling-calling, people-shwapde... all bloody true events. Terrible! Thrilling! Touching! His true heroes have come alive from the pages of history - some winners, some losers! The only destination for losers is death. The writing pen of Ruddhaswas Kahini like Mayukh Chowdhury is still rare in Bengali language. From pirates to robber-heroes in Bombay, or the 'duel' of people facing the fearsome snakes! The body trembles as it reads. One has to fall madly through page after page. It has been published in a new form after being unpublished for almost forty years.
