the second volume of this omnibus shows an obvious evolution of Felu Mitter as a detective, Ray as a writer and the whole series as more than an Enid Blytonish adventure series.
The mysteries, though still predictable, are a little more elaborate, the plots are slightly improved and we strill have the foreign travel, the constant danger and the decent excitement.
Nice, but no Holmes. Thoroughly enjoyed reading the adventures of Feluda alias Pradosh Mitter and his fellow musketeers,
A book filled with short stories that's easy to read amp will keep your mind racing to catch the culprit before Feluda does.
Satyajit Ray's writing is fun amp effortless,

আদতয বরধনর আবষকর Feluda, The Bengali Sherlock, is undoubtedly thend best Bengali detective character,st is Byomkesh Bakshi :
Satyajit Ray is no doubt a brilliant story writer, And all his stories Feluda, Sonku, and short stories are a brilliant piece of work.
It is pointless to give review on his works, as all bengali readers are familiar with Satyajit Ray's work, Absolutely spectacular! Satyajit Ray's whodunnit stories are amazing, It wasn't boring in the slightest, and I couldn't seem to put the book down,
The stories were clear and lucid, and the plots were really good,
Aside fromstories where I was pretty sure about the culprit, the rest of the stories had me baffled! I can definitely see why Feluda is a legend even now.
I just wish that Satyajit Ray had written more female characters in the book, and especially female criminals,
Gopa Majumdar did a really good job translating the book!
Definitely would recommend to someone looking to read detective fiction : sitelink wordpress. com/
Summary
Feluda, the razor sharp and witty young detective investigates some very curious cases along with his cousin Tapesh and friend Jatayu through the length and breadth of India.
A recent article about the release of a new Feluda movie brought back happy memories of this childhood series.
We know Satyajit Ray as the Oscar winning filmmaker but not many Indians, especially nonBengalis know that he was also an author par excellence.
Fortunately I became familiar with the “Author” Ray through his translated short stories in “Kishor” magazine much before I had watched any of his films.
So when one day my local librarian showed me a new book titled “The Golden Fortress” by Satyajit Ray, I immediately lapped it up and since then became a huge fan of Feluda, Topshe and Jatayu.
InRay revived childrens magazine “Sandesh” started by his grandfather, He started writing Feluda stories inand betweenandwrotestories featuring Pradosh C, Mitra, nicknamed “Felu”, a young, athletic and brilliant detective, Feluda da” in Bengali means elder brother is accompanied in his adventures by hisyear old cousin Tapesh, Tapesh or “Topshe” as he is fondly called is the young Watson to this modern day Indian Sherlock Holmes and chronicles the mysteries for us.
Like all the children who have read these stories, Topshe is in awe of Feludas deduction skills and knowledge and Feluda is his idol though Feluda teases him a lot.
Feluda is very choosy in his cases and accepts only the ones that intrigue him most, Their cases take them all over India
from Sikkim to Rajasthan and Darjeeling to Maharashtra and also to Nepal and England, Many of the stories are set in Feludas hometown Calcutta, Ray introduced Lalmohan Ganguli a, k. a. Jatayu, writer of bestselling thrillers whose hero Prakhar Rudra is nothing short of a superman, In Rays own words Jatayu offers “dollops of humour” in the otherwise sombre stories, Jatayu is a fumbling caricature with his misspelt English and love for rhymeless poetry, who almost always makes wrong deduction, a male version of Ariadne Oliver from Agatha Christies Poirot stories.
In fact we can see the influence of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot throughout the series, As Feluda himself says “we have nothing new to do, we just follow the paths of the past masters Holmes and Poirot”,
Ray had to walk on a tightrope as the stories were meant for children, He had to keep the violence to the minimum even in case of murder mysteries and the fair sex is conspicuously absent in almost all the stories.
Despite this constraint Feluda became instant hit among children and grownups alike due to stimulating plots and twists in climax, All the stories are riveting though some of them are clearly a class apart, My particular favourites are The Emperors Ring, Trouble in Gangtok, The Golden Fortress and Tintorettos Jesus,
Reading the stories takes us back in time and its a pleasing ride worth taking especially in the city of Calcutta due to Rays minute attention to details.
Reading about the by lanes of Calcutta is reminiscent of Sjowall and Wahloos Stockholm during the same period,
Read it to your children or read it for yourself I am sure you will definitely enjoy it, অনক সধনর পর ফইনল শষ!

By the way, Satyajit Ray is still alive as ফলদ Great book but HORRIBLE PAGE QUALITY by PENGUIN
Feluda stories are good I will read all of them sometime soon.
About this volume: shame be on Penguin! They have dishonored Satyajit Ray by providing the two volumes with abysmal pages vol,and! The page quality is really poor you will feel outraged,
Where did I buy it: I bought it online from HomeShopwith almostdiscount also using a discount code, They source from reputed dealers, So it is an original copy from Penguin and not a spurious copy from the flea/gray market, সমগর ১ এর গলপগল বশই দরণ Inspired writing.

২১ ম, ২০২১ Rating is a little lower than for d first volume, The stories started getting a little tired and this was particularly so in the second half of this volume, But nonetheless a good breezy read if u r a fan, পরথম খনডর চয দবতয খনড ফলদর জলস কছট কমছ,কহনগলও পরডকটবল হয যচছলতবও ফলদর কহন পডত এমনই ভল লগ য পচ তরর কম দযর কথ ভবতই পর নদবতয খনড আমর পছনদর তন হল যত কনড কঠমনডত,দরজল জমজমট এব শকনতলর কনঠহর! Predictable, repetitive and simplistic for a grownup mystery fan, But I enjoyed reading the stories anyway since they transported me to my childhood a time and place when life was simple, and finding the person 'whodunnit' before the fictional detective was more enjoyable than being amazed at having the author outwit me.
