Of the rare contemporary works, which throw light on the social life of the Calcutta of Warren Hastings and Sir Philp Francis one of the rarest and certainly the most interesting is the Original Letters of Mrs. Fay. The book introduces Mrs. Fay and her husband to us on 18th April 1779, and in July 1795, the narrative leaves her, at a low ebb in her fortunes.
Mrs. Fay survived to see Calcutta in her youth and other places from then Egypt, Malabar, Murshidabad to "Chandernagore".
Well, In that time, as it has been observed, Calcutta, being a place of frequent partings, is, in consequence, a place of short memories.
Mrs. Fay, in advanced years, returned to Calcutta, about a year before her death, and set to work to put her letters into print, it may indeed be wondered how it is that a book so often laid under contribution, so full of adventures, containing so many clearly cut descriptions of interesting persons and place.

The prose of the novella excerpt, Crusader and the Hundred Horses, exhibits a unique and compelling stylistic voice. The text is characterized by a distinctive blend of formal, at times poetic, diction and unconventional syntactic structures, which together create a singular narrative persona. This voice, reminiscent of oral storytelling traditions, sets the novella apart from conventional contemporary English prose.
The narrative's setting in pre-independence India is a crucial contextual element that informs its style. The story features a young modern historian, Reena Sanyal, who travels to a remote village in the province of Chattishgarh to uncover the story of a tribal freedom fighter, Mohit Hembram. Besides, the story depicts an intense love of the tribal hero with an English girl since their childhood days in the British ruled India.

This book, In the Light of Words / À la lumière des mots, is a testimony to the power of language—its ability to heal, to confront, to awaken, and to console. The poems oscillate between stark social commentary and transcendental musings. They do not shy away from darkness but dare to dwell in it, in search of the sacred light within.
The English section often reflects a stark reality. In "The World Falls Apart", we encounter a bleak portrait of societal collapse. In "A Piece of Furniture", a seemingly mundane table becomes a living relic of memory and intergenerational love. In "Ignorant Knowledge", there’s a poignant indictment of the very institutions meant to educate us, and a critique of modernity's obsession with data over wisdom.
The French poems bring in a different cadence—at times mystic, at times melancholic. « Qu’il demeure, qu’il s’écoule » is a lyrical meditation on impermanence and acceptance. « Un Monde en Déséquilibre » explores the moral inertia of modernity and its catastrophic consequences. « La Femme Médecin Disparue » echoes the English counterpart, speaking to gendered violence with haunting restraint.

This gripping trilogy unravels a tapestry of trauma, betrayal, and systemic failure across diverse landscapes and social structures. “Murder in the Midst of Things” centers on a series of global, surgically precise killings executed by a secretive group of wronged intellectuals, exposing a haunting cycle of vengeance born from institutional rot and personal loss. In “Murder Lies in a Death,” corruption within medical and legal systems silences truth, challenging individuals to risk everything in their pursuit of justice.
Meanwhile, “Caught in Between the Two Worlds” portrays a deeply personal struggle with identity, as a character navigates cultural dualities and generational expectations in a shifting, globalized world.
