Heshoram Hoshiyarer Dairy by Sukumar Ray, Charbak Dipta [Paperback]

Through the stories of Professor Heshoram Hushiar, we discover another side of Sukumar Ray—one who, in this work, stepped beyond the realm of playful nonsense and plunged into adventure and the lure of the unknown. Filled with a host of bizarre creatures and astonishing characters, such tales of daring expeditions were rare in Bengali literature of that era. In fact, Sukumar Ray’s son Satyajit Ray later found the seeds of his iconic character Professor Shonku in this very Heshoram Hushiar. The timeless tale of that audacious expedition to the Hindukush mountains now comes alive once again, reimagined in comic form through the art of Charbak Dipt.
