Since 1975 I collect books by and on Tolkien, I specialize in The Hobbit.
Somewhere in 2011 I got a mail from Aniruddha. He had translated The Hobbit into Bengali, but there was only one problem: no publisher. I advised him to try and find a publisher that would publish on demand (POD). And …. not much later there was the Bengali Hobbit in print.
I am very proud, that the very first copy of the Bengali Hobbit is part of my Hobbit collection (www.hobbithunter.nl – 636 Hobbits in / from 80 languages / countries).
As a Dutchman I can not read any word in Bengali, but I do like the book and the illustrations very much.
Some 300.000.000 people can read and speak bengali, so ….. buy this Hobbit, please. You will love the story.
