Hiki Saheber Gezette by Dr. Partha Chattopadhyay [Hardcover]

"Hicky Saheb's Gazette is a novel about a life, yet the main character of the novel is 18th-century Kolkata. At that time, Kolkata was newly emerging as the capital of the British-occupied region. Thousands of people were flocking to this new city in search of life and livelihood. On one hand, there was the opulence of the nouveau riche, while on the other hand, there were thousands of poor people struggling to survive. In this city, an Irish gentleman named James Augustus Hicky arrived as merely an adventurer for a month. He is known as the father of India's first newspaper. This novel narrates the poignant history of how he became the publisher of the first newspaper in this city and the struggles of his life."
