Satgaonr Haoatantira : A Novel On the fish-shaped land between the rivers Hugli and Saraswati stood the ancient port city of Satgaon. For centuries, Arab, Chinese and European merchants have sailed in here, propelled by the mawsim winds. The Portuguese, the Dutch, the Danes and the French have set up trading posts. Here, upon this rich cosmopolitan landscape, a clan of Kanauji Brahmins had set up a home around a temple dedicated to Lord Ram. A girl from this clan marries a young archeologist, an East Bengalirefugee, who comes to Satgaon on a project. Bappaditya, their son, is the novel's hero. Since childhood, Bappa has been regularly coming with his motherto this magical land, riding a fairly-tale light railway train, a land where a church steeple caterwauls on windy days and women exchange sonic messages with their kin by taking a dip in the river, where Vedic scholars are turned into toads by the curse of an ogress who dwells in a well, and a young Parisian poet finds his flower of evil, where a Turkish warrior finds peace and stays back, and learns Sanskrit to write an ode to the Ganga, where members of the clan return after death, and even a firangi’s soul returns, reincarnated as a Javanese cockatoo. A new law threatens to eject Bappaditya from this fabulous enclave of memories. Can an affidavit woven with the illusory strands of history, myth and memories save him? A magnificent novel spanning seven hundred years, nine generations of a family, and including 49 main characters— among whom there is a cockatoo, a horse and a Harley Davidson motorbike. Learn More -

A montage of memories, legends and myths, the book discusses in detail, life and death, unnecessary egotism and man’s leaps before thought. To put it simply, it talks about the ebb and flow of human civilization as a whole. Ajoy Gupta’s soul-piercing style of writing, with hues of subtle humour echoes Gabriel Garcia Marquez as it reminds us, ‘Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers and how one remembers it in order to recount it’. This book beckons not fear of living, but a grand celebration of life.

₹325.00Many years after Baudelaire's aborted voyage to Calcutta, a child was born in a bylane of the city's suburb. He adopted a stray puppy and was himself adopted into a continent of words and images. One day, at a bend in the lane of his seedy, violence-torn neighbourhood, he discovered Garcia Marquez's Macondo. The magical journey has continued ever since: from cheap street fiction to Soviet-era literature, from the murky urban imagery of Jibananda Das's poetry to the cinema of Ingmar Bergman, it has taken him to a landscape that dreams up its own author, where a girl still waits amid the detritus of a lost civilization for the poet who had abandoned her. Genre-bending, and written in Parimal Bhattacharya's inimitable prose, Nahumer Gram O Onyanyo Museum celebrates artistic imagination in the teeth of dark times. Learn More
