Professor Shankur Kandakarkhana by Satyajit Ray [Hardcover]

In terms of scientific inventions, Professor Shonku is unparalleled. From 'Robo,' a machine capable of instantly solving any mathematical problem, no matter how complex, and answering any question, to 'Camerapid,' a camera that prints colored pictures within fifteen seconds, and the extraordinary device 'Linguagraph,' which can translate any spoken language into Bengali within three minutes—Professor Shonku has invented them all! He even created the 'Omniscope,' a remarkable pair of glasses that functions as a telescope, microscope, and X-ray machine.

Such a globally renowned figure, whose achievements are both thrilling and fascinating, would have remained unknown to us had Satyajit Ray not introduced him to the world. In this book, Ray documents five of the great Professor Shonku’s adventurous expeditions, which take place across the four major continents and beneath the ocean. These long, exciting tales are filled with scientific wonders and explorations.
