The Adventurous Story I Read Recently Paragraph
Recently I read an adventurous story full of thrill and excitement. It was Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay’s Chander Pahar (The Mountain of the Moon, 1937) that deserves to be regarded as the full fledged popular adventure novel in Bengali.
It tells of the exploits of a Bengali youth Shankar Roy Chaudhary who undertook the most hazardous and venturesome journey to reach the Chander Pahar (The Mountain of the Moon) in Richtersveld, Africa in search of precious yellow diamond caves supposed to be guarded by a mythical monster Bunyip.
In his pursuit, Shankar was accompanied by Diego Alvarez, a middle-aged Portuguese explorer. So, lured by the prospect of precious yellow diamond, Shankar and Alvarez ventured again. In course of their journey, they had to face with many hardships like special tribal people, a raging volcano and Bunyip who killed Alvarez. But in a final duel with Shankar, Bunyip died and accidentally Shankar found the diamond mines.
He collected some yellow diamond taking them as normal stones. Demoralised, Shankar tried to return to civilisation and was lost in the desert of Kalahari. He was fortunately rescued by a survey team.
The whole story is filled with thrill and excitement. The author also provided a nice pictorial description of the setting of the story. Each page of the book is transformed from wonder to wonder. It was really a memorable experience of reading the book Chander Pahar (The Mountain of the Moon)
