Sharadindu Omnibus Volume 1 collects the early work of Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay, the writer who created Byomkesh Bakshi but who also wrote much else, including historical fiction, comedy, and ghost stories. This volume gives a fuller sense of his range than the Byomkesh stories alone do.
Bengali readers who already love Byomkesh will find new sides of Sharadindu here. New readers can use it as a wide entry point into one of the best mid century Bengali writers.
