Reviews

[Riju Ganguly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some of these stories have been considered as classic ghost stories by critics since ages, while some of them, despite being seminal 'strange tales' have been neglected in a rather unfair manner. These stories had been scattered across different volumes of the author's Collected Works. Finally, the publishers have, in their thematic zeal, at least given us the opportunity to have many of these old favourites together to read. The production values are also good, although some information in the shape of first publication of these stories or their critical reception would have been great help. However, even without such editorial contribution, this book is highly recommended.

Bibhuti Bhushan creates a magical world, with his words that exude compassion, love and humanity. I have always thought that along with Jibanananda Das and Mahasweta Devi, he should have been awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. As a writer, I have learned from him how to create a picture -- rural, urban, or semi-urban, and immediately draw you in. I have learned from him how to create a realistic conversation, using grassroots language. I have learned from him how to understand intricacies of human relationship.

Bibhuti Bhushan's অলৌকিক গল্পসম্ভার is only a small example of the mega-magnetic power he had: once you start reading his story or novel -- any piece -- you are spellbound and mesmerized. We know about Pather Panchali, and perhaps Chander Pahar, but we don't know much about Aranyak, Icchamati, or Ashani Sanket. And his incredible treasure trove of short stories -- both for adults and children. I have translated three of his short stories for my new book "Music Box and Moonshine" (2018). People who are into literature -- please do justice to this man: read well before rating his work. Thank you.

তারানাথ তান্ত্রিক আমার অতি প্রিয় চরিত্র। তারানাথ এর দুটি গল্প অসাধারণ, আগেও পড়েছি আবার পড়তে হলো।
মেডেল, অভিশপ্ত, রঙ্কিনিদেবীর খড়্গ, গোঙ্গাধরের বিপদ, পত্রিক ভিটা, সবকটিই অসাধারণ।
কোনো গল্পটিকেই স্রেফ ভূতের গল্প বলা চলে না। বাঙালি মানসের রোমানটিকতার রঙে রঙিন সব কটি গল্প। ব্যস্ত আধুনিক জীবনের বাইরে কথাউ অলৌকিক অপ্রকৃতর হাত ধরে একটু মুক্তি। বাড়তি পাওনা লেখকের আঁকা সেই যুগের প্রকৃতি, সমাজ মানুষের জীবন্ত চিত্র।

আমাদের আগাগোড়া হিসেবী জীবনের পাড়ে একটা বিশ্বাস, হয়তো কিছু আছে, হয়তো সব মিথ্যা নয়......

A realm outside the daily grind of stressful city life.

Typical bibhuti writings. Most of the stories are not ghost stories. Mainly, mind tricks and others are black arts. Well described with good story telling. Sometimes I think I am reading a novel instead of a short story. lol.

আমি বিভূতি ভূষণের গ্লপের আকজন বিশেষ অনুরাগী। ওনার লেখা ভূতের গল্প আমার একটি অতি পছন্দের গ্রন্থ। সকলের কাছে অনুরধ রইল বইটি পড়ে দেখার।
