Explanation In Favor Of 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.

Liked the post independence story setup. The storyline were simple and held the interest of the reader. Good for children reading.Satyajit Ray (Bengali: সতযজিৎ রায) was an Indian filmmaker and author of Bengali fiction and regarded as one of the greatest auteurs of world cinema. Ray was born in the city of Calcutta into a Bengali family prominent in the world of arts and literature. Starting his career as a commercial artist, Ray was drawn into independent filmmaking after meeting French filmmaker Jean Renoir and watching
Written by Satyajit Ray (yes, the director). A collection of short stories about Prodosh Chandra Mitra, who goes by the nickname Feluda and works as a private investigator. He's assisted by his young cousin Topshe (who is very consciously Watson to Feluda's Sherlock Holmes, and who is the narrator of the stories) and his friend Lalmohon Ganguli, a timid dork who writes adventure novel under a pseudonym. Together, they fight crime! No, actually.The stories aren't particularly deep, but they are

Need something for light reading? Or have you just started reading mystery books? Then this is just the right book for you. I love the way the story takes turns. Also the style of Feluda (inspired by Sherlok Holmes) is quite attractive. It's a nice book as a whole. Would be recommended.
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.
