The late Sunil Gangopadhyay was undoubtedly a globe-trotter. This is two-volume mega-collection of travel writings presented in an unputdownable manner. In the celebrated author's own words, "I have loved travelling since I was a kid. At one point of time, I had even thought of becoming a sailor just to satisfy my desire of going on long voyages. Although that desire has not been fulfilled ,yet I have spent nights under a tree ,traversed rivers living in a boat and at times have also spent nights in suites of star hotels. These experiences, written down ,are many in number."
