About The Book:
Patalpuri Plutonia (Plutonia) is a thrilling adventure novel by Soviet writer and geologist V. A. Obruchev, translated into Bengali by Bishnu Mukhopadhyay. Set beneath the Earth's surface, this novel introduces readers to an underground world known as Patalpuri, filled with rivers, lakes, volcanoes, and peculiar vegetation, all illuminated by its own sun, Pluto. The world is home to strange creatures and primitive humans. The story follows an unusual expedition into this underground realm, leading readers to wonder whether such a fantastical world might truly exist. Could there be a gap in the snowy fields of Sumeria that leads to such a hidden world?

Written in 1915 and first published in Russian in 1924, this science fiction novel draws inspiration from Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth but also provides realistic descriptions of prehistoric inhabitants, adding a unique touch to the genre. The book will captivate young readers with its curious and exciting narrative, encouraging them to question the boundaries of exploration and the mysteries of our planet.
