Aulaukik Istimaar ( Bengali: অলৌকিক ইস্টিমার, lit. 'Unearthly Steamer') is a book which consists of a collection of Bengali poetry by Bangladeshi author Humayun Azad. It was the first book of Azad which was published in 1973 from Khan Brothers and Company, Dhaka. A reprint was published from Agamee Prakashani later. [1] The poems in the book are able to foreshadow the mainstream and style of broad thought in Azad's later life poetry. [2] [3]
The book consists of poems written by Humayun Azad when he was a Dhaka University student from 1964 to 1968 and also when he entered in his job life in late 1960s decade; some poems were written in the early part of the 1970s decade, included in this book. The poems of this book are mixed with Azad's personal emotions. The name of the book also comes from Azad's one of nostalgic childhood memories. Poems based on unrequited love are an important part of this book.
Aulaukik Istimaar was published in 1973, it was the year when Azad went in Scotland for doing PhD in linguistics from University of Edinburgh. The book was published by Khan Brothers and Co. (a printing press from Dhaka) but later it was being published from Agamee Prakashani.
In 1973 when the book was first published Azad was described as 'Bangladeshi young urban poet' by readers community. [4]
There are 49 poems in this book.
