Uday Hakim’s new book ‘Rohossomoy  Adam Pahar’ hits Book Fair

A new book of renowned writer, journalist, recitation artist and corporate personality Uday Hakim is now available in the ongoing Ekushey Book Fair.

The book titled ‘Rohossomoy Adam Pahar’ (Mysterious Adam's Peak), is a travelogue and written on Adams Peak, a beautiful and fascinating place in Sri Lanka. It takes the total number of the writer's published books to seven.

The book is available since last Thursday at stall No.31 of Anindya Prokash at Suhrawardy Udyan part of the fair.

The 144-page book has primarily been priced at Tk.300. Bayzid Ahmed makes the cover of the book.

In this regard, author Uday Hakim said, Travel enriches knowledge. It provides mental satisfaction. Sri Lanka's Adam's Peak is still a mystery to people. In the book, I have tried to highlight the experience of visiting there as well as important information about the place. Much of  the tour is narrated as a story. That is why readers, in this book, will find three things- stories, travels and information. Hope they will enjoy it.
He added that the book will be useful for those who want to travel to Sri Lanka. The author also believes that the book will be well accepted by general readers regardless of caste and creed.
