इस संकलन में प्रसिद्ध ओडि़या साहित्यकार तरुणकांति मिश्र की कुल उन्नीस कहानियाँ शामिल हैं। चार से भी अधिक दशक के दौरान अलग-अलग कालखंडों में अलग-अलग मनःस्थितियों में लिखी गई ये उनकी चुनिंदा कहानियाँ हैं। इसमें लेखक के किशोरवय से जीवन के अब तक के पड़ाव की रचनाएँ संकलित हैं, जिनमें कोमल उम्र के नम्र अनुभव, यौवन के कई रंग और जीवन के अपराह्न का विमर्श निहित है। आशा और निराशा, स्वप्न और स्वप्नभंग, प्रेम और प्रेमहीनता, मृत्यु और निर्वाण, इन सबके भीतर चमक रहा है जीवन का विस्तृत रूप। तरुणकांति को असामान्य कहानी का स्रष्टा कहा जाता है। इस संकलन में संकलित हरेक कहानी इसका प्रमाण है। बहुत व्यापक है उनके गल्प की परिधि। कहानियों का जो पक्ष पाठकों को ज्यादा स्पर्श करता है, वह है चरित्रों की अंतर्मुखी अभिव्यक्ति। उनका कथ्य-वर्णन, रूप कल्प, परिवेश, यहाँ तक कि आकाश-पृथ्वी का दर्पण एक ही तत्त्व का संधान करते हैं, और वह है अंतराभिमुखी। जीवन का तिलिस्म, वास्तविकता, रहस्यमयता और जिजीविषा का निष्ठुर-निर्मम सत्य इन कहानियों में प्रस्फुटित है। पर इन सबसे ऊपर है, उनकी इनसान को प्रेम करने की भाषा। अपनी इसी सूक्ष्म दृष्टि और संवेदना के चलते समकालीन लेखकों के बीच वह अलग से नजर आ जाते हैं।

- Description: "Chandernagor: A Burg Of The Moon" is an illustrated chronicle of the quaint yet historically rich city of Chandernagor. A former French colony, Chandernagor is not a popular site for enthusiasts of Indo-French architecture, festivals, cuisine and culture. The author masterfully captures this blended nature of the city, who, having grown up in Chandernagor, brings these abstractions to life through reminiscent words and lively images. The plot manoeuvres its way through the unique heritage of Chandernagor as a French colony to finally connect it to India's freedom movement while interspersed with trivia and childhood memories of the place. With an informative narrative that promises to keep the readers engrossed, the book is riveting, especially brought out on the occasion of India as Guest of Honour country at the Paris Book Festival, 2022.
