[Assam] A Question

[Chan Mahanta]

Way back when I was in Class VI or VII, I read an Assamese 
translation of a novel entitled Maati aaru Manuh. If I am not 
mistaken, the two principal characters in the novel were Isaac and 
Einaar ( or Inaar) or something like that.  Has anyone read it? If so 
who wrote the original and who was the translator?  I am curious to 
all heck, now that I can't remember the details. BTW, it was a thick 
book.
