Chronicle As Books The Adventures of Feluda (Feluda #6, 13, 15, 18)
This is that long elusive, lost edition translated by Chitrita Banerjee from four novellas handpicked by Satyajit Ray himself. Under the guidance of Ray, it seems the translation here is so much better than in the Gopa Majumdar volumes that came later. In fact the language is almost lyrical, poetic ("The object, though under the ground for two hundred years was still capable of dazzling with with its beauty gleaming in the first rays of the early morning sun...", are some lines from 'Trouble in the Graveyard'* for example).My first Feluda book, a treasured childhood memory, a portal of all good things that we knew and had that perhaps like this edition, are now lost.
* Note- 'Gorosthaney Sabdhaney' was called 'Trouble in the Graveyard' in this edition as opposed to Gopa's 'Secret of the Cemetery'. Also, 'Bandits of Bombay' was called 'Buccaneers of Bombay' here.

When I first read the name Feluda, he instantly seemed someone like Sabu, the giant alien in Pran's Chacha Chaudhary comics. But Feluda turned out to be Prodosh Mitter, a normal man, but a detective with exemplary looks. Felu is the nickname of Prodosh and 'da' is the short form for 'dada' (elder brother). As Ray himself says, Feluda is very much like Sherlock Holmes with his Charminar cigarette and wits. Also, the story is told in first person by Felu's cousin, Tapesh who acts as his Watson.Liked the post independence story setup. The storyline were simple and held the interest of the reader. Good for children reading.
I am probably two decades late in reading this awesome thriller series, but had I read it in my teens it would definitely have blown me away. With his intentional clever ways of educating the young mind with interesting knowledge & facts and putting one's intellect to good thinking use, I really liked Satyajit Ray's style of writing even today!This book is a compilation of 4 novellas of crime and suspense, featuring Feluda - the clever bengali private investigator! I started reading this
This book introduces Satyajit Ray's detective Pardosh Mitter, with the sobriquet of Feluda. This is the omnibus where,all the adventures of this detective has been compiled,after being translated in English by Gopal Majumdar.Well, before pointing out the sore points that stick out prominently, I would like to draw attention to its pluses.Firstly, Satyajit Ray has drawn out the scent of India's rich culture with the flourish of a true artist that he was. Secondly, the amusing character of Jatayu,
good book...loved it :)
Alright! An Indian version of Sherlock Holmes. Nothing special, but integrated with some good plots it might serve your appetite for Sherlock like adventures.
