About the Book

Harano Moti (Bengali Version) is a precious literary compilation that brings back the lost gems of Bengali literature written by the legendary author Moti Nandy. At its heart lies the iconic novel “Dukher Ba Sukher Kachhe”, first published in the Sharodiya Anandabazar Patrika (Bengali year 1376) and released as a book in 1377. After reading it, celebrated writer Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay famously remarked:

“After reading Moti’s writing, I no longer feel like writing anything myself.”
And yet, that very book mysteriously disappeared from the market.

This volume restores that proverbial novel along with many other forgotten works—rescued from oblivion and carefully curated between two covers. Aptly titled Harano Moti (“The Lost Pearl”), the book is a tribute to Moti Nandy’s enduring literary brilliance.

The collection includes 7 forgotten novels, 6 short stories, memoir-style writings, and essays on sports, offering readers a sweeping view of the author’s range—his realism, emotional depth, social insight, and narrative power.

For lovers of serious Bengali literature, Harano Moti is not just a book—it is a literary recovery mission, bringing back invaluable works that deserve to be read, remembered, and cherished anew.
