Chander Pahaar – Moon Mountain

This is the story of a Bengaali youngster’s adventures. Shankar, after graduation, when he was about to take up a job in his native place, he gets a chance to travel to Uganda and work for their railway track construction. He readily accepts the offer and travels to Africa. Initially he works as a layman where he first encounters man-eating lions. Later he gets promoted as a station master of a remote and isolated railway station. Here he comes across the black mamba. He rescues a portugese traveller and gets influenced by his adventures through the African forests and deserts. Shankar resigns to his job and both of them start off their journey to explore the diamond mines in Africa. They face so many life threatening dangers in the forest. One day, the portugese traveller is killed by a monster Bunip. From there onwards Shankar is all alone and he searches for a way out into the normal world. And the rest of the story is about his journey through the Kalahaari desert and the diamond mines and finally back to his home.

This book was written by the famous Bengaali writer Bhibuti Bhushan Bandyopaadyaay, the one who wrote Pather Panchaali, Vanavaasi (Aranyak) etc. I haven’t come across Pather Paanchaali yet, but I happened to read his another book Vanavaasi. And this book Chander Pahaar is not that famous as his other two books, but I loved this book too much. A 200% adventerous thriller, takes you to a totally different world.

And this one was from my Peddi’s collection 😀
