Troilokyonath Mukhopadhyay (1847-1919) is one of the foremost writers of fiction of nineteenth century Bengal, and also a pioneer of business entrepreneurship of colonial India. He is very often called the prime mover of magic realism in Bengali literature when it was not even remotely known anywhere in the world. 'Konkaboti', published in 1892, was Troilokyonath's debut novel, which heralded his advent into Bengali literature. His stories and novels are replete with sparkling wit, hilarious and unexpected turn of events, and caustic social satire. Arnab Bhattacharya is an internationally acclaimed critic, author/editor, and translator. He has been a panelled book reviewer for 'The Telegraph' for fifteen years, and is a senior resource person of the diploma course in translation studies at Rabindra Bharati University and a guest lecturer at the Department of Comaparative Literature. His works of translation include 'Of Ghosts and Other Perils' and 'Konkaboti' have been published by Orient BlackSwan in 2013 and 2015, respectively.
