Description
This novel is not a conventional tale of an interplanetary expedition. Dr. Satyaki Som’s two intellectual creations—Prajñān and Subhadra—seem to represent the human mind and heart themselves: eternally in conflict, yet profoundly complementary.
Set in the distant future, many light-years away from Earth, the story nevertheless mirrors the world we live in today. Without resorting to slogans or overt preaching, the author subtly but incisively exposes the many inequalities and contradictions of our society. Though written for young readers, the book offers rich rewards for adults as well.
During the era of three legendary editors, Sandesh magazine’s beloved children’s author Rebanta Goswami created stories in which children found reflections of themselves, while adults rediscovered their lost childhoods. For many years, due to age, he had taken voluntary retirement from writing stories and novels. In the troubled year of 2020, after nearly two decades, Rebanta Goswami once again picked up his golden pen to write his only science-fiction novel—Two Passengers of the Golden Boat.
Transcending science and adventure, this is ultimately a story about human beings, about the Earth, and about love.
