Tarinikhuror Kirtikalap by Satyajit Ray [Hardcover]

Just like Professor Shonku or detective Feluda, Satyajit Ray has introduced a lively, witty, and intriguing new character, whose vibrant and varied experiences bring a fresh appeal to storytelling. While Feluda’s mysteries dazzle with intelligence and Shonku's tales hint at science fiction, the adventures of this new character, Tarini Khuro, are filled with the thrilling wonders of the supernatural.

Tarini Khuro has worked in thirty-three cities across India, doing fifty-six different jobs. As a result, his vast stock of stories, rich with diverse experiences, could fill two volumes of Arabian Nights. Except for a little artistic embellishment, everything is supposedly true. Now, Tarini Khuro sits in the hangout spots of Beniatola Lane in Kolkata, sipping unsweetened tea, recounting these stories. From his endless collection, eight tales have been included in this book: The Man-Eater of Dumangarh, The Ghost of Pune, The Vetala of Hyderabad, The Cricket Match of Martandpur, The Duel of Lucknow, The Ruined House of Dhumalgarh, The Seth of Ajmer, and Tollywood of Kolkata—eight spine-chilling experiences that defy logical explanation.

The cover and illustrations of the book have been done by Satyajit Ray.
