Manchitre Tar Nam Nei by Maitry Roy Moulik [Hardcover]

The first geological map, created in 1815, represented the three-dimensional Earth in a two-dimensional form. This single map shook a belief that had persisted for nearly two thousand years. Did it mean that the divine theory of the world's creation in six days was mere imagination? If so, concrete evidence was needed. But who would provide that proof? The man who made this map had disappeared. Was it fear of society, threats from rigid religious authorities, or some other reason that led to his vanishing? Why did the British intellectual circles of the time make no effort to find him? The very nation that spread the ideals of the Renaissance across the world could not protect a seeker of truth on its own soil. This is the dark tale hidden within a land of enlightenment.
