Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Troilokyonath Mukhopadhyay s tales are excursions into fantasy, where fact confronts the unreal. He belongs to a group of writers (including Sukumar Ray and Lewis Carroll) who elevated nonsense in literature to an art form. Konkaboti, Troilokyonath s first novel (1892), begins with the childhood years of the eponymous heroine and Khetu, a boy from her village, who goes to Kolkata to study. In time, their mothers want them to marry, but Konkaboti s avaricious father plans her wedding with an aged zamindar. The prospect appals her and she falls seriously ill. Konka and Khetu undergo amazing experiences, including encounters with ghosts, a trip to the moon and back, and the death of both protagonists. But matters are resolved through a major twist in the tail of the narrative. The effortlessly inventive goings-on compel readers to suspend their disbelief. Translator Arnab Bhattacharya explains in a perceptive Afterword why Troilokyonath s book deserves a wider readership for it travels to imagined worlds scarcely ever portrayed in early Indian fiction.…

Lullu is a civilised, modern ghost who steals a married woman from Delhi and hides her in a chamber below a lake, but Amir, her husband, with the help of a weaver-singer, an astrologer, an exorcist, and other ghosts rescues her by making Lullu an opium-addict. In Nayanchand s Business we find a tale of a bull under orders of his ex-owner about to wreak havoc as he makes Yama, the god of the netherworld, and his assistant Chitragupta run in panic to escape being gored. Some of the situations-as when the torso of a man is joined by a quack doctor to the rear portion of a cow after an accident ( Another Story by Damarudhar )-produce more fun and dramatic turning points than the reader usually expects. Troilokyanath s fiction also has elements of social criticism tinged with satire though with a light touch. And as the translator, Arnab Bhattacharya, points out in a scholarly Afterword, Troilokyanath has been called with some justification a magic realist, a pioneer in Bangla writing.
