商品描述

The first English translation of a cult science fiction favorite by Hemendra Kumar Roy, one of the giants of early Bangla literature, and other sf stories from the colonial period in India.

Kalpavigyan--science fiction written to excite Bengali speakers about science, as well as to persuade them to evolve beyond the limitations of religion, caste, and class--became popular in the early years of the twentieth century. Translated into English for the first time, in this collection you'll discover The Inhumans (1935), Hemendrakumar Roy's satirical novella about a lost race of Bengali supermen in Uganda. Also included are Jagadananda Ray's "Voyage to Venus" (1895), Nanigopal Majumdar's "The Mystery of the Giant" (1931), and Manoranjan Bhattacharya's "The Martian Purana" (1931).

商品描述(中文翻譯)

首次將 Hemendra Kumar Roy 的一部受到崇拜的科幻小說以及印度殖民時期的其他科幻故事翻譯成英文。

「Kalpavigyan」是一種科幻文學，旨在激發孟加拉語使用者對科學的興趣，同時說服他們超越宗教、種姓和階級的限制。這種文學在二十世紀初變得流行起來。在這個收藏中，你將首次閱讀到 Hemendrakumar Roy 的諷刺小說《The Inhumans》（1935），故事描述了一個在烏干達的孟加拉超人族群的失落。此外，還包括了Jagadananda Ray的《Voyage to Venus》（1895）、Nanigopal Majumdar的《The Mystery of the Giant》（1931）和Manoranjan Bhattacharya的《The Martian Purana》（1931）。
