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."
