Among the very few works in Bengali literature dealing with Adventure or Treasure Hunting in foreign locales, Anil Bhowmik and his renowned creation Francis occupies a pride of place.
The entire series was written from the ‘Viking’ perspective and mostly dealt with treaure hunting. Francis and his companions were treasure hunters, but they lacked the greed of money or material benefit which are very common traits in treasure-hunters. The author depicted that the sheer thrill and intelligence associated with the process of treasure hunting were what primarily coerced the protagonists into such a vocation.
