₹375.00‘What have you got up your sleeve? Some new poems?’ Apu’s old college friend Pulu asks him in Satyajit Ray’s Apur Sansar. ‘A wonderful novel,’ Apu muses. ‘It’s about a boy, a village boy... poor, but sensitive. His father is a priest. The father dies, the boy goes to the city... Not to become a priest. He wants to study. His study, his education, his hardships... broaden his mind, sharpen his intellect...’ ‘Well?’ Pulu chips in. ‘But where is the novel? It’s an autobiography!’ Yes, true. In fact, it is the autobiography of the Bengalis, since 19th century. But not the unabridged version; obscure, even contrary parts have been left out of it. In search of the missing narratives, the author has set out on a fascinating trip, listening to the tales of grit blood love and dreams of the people he has encountered, and has pieced together the life story of a young deltaic land. Like Parimal Bhattacharya’s earlier books, Apur Desh, too, has been fashioned out of the forms of fiction, memoir, reportage, travelogue and more: it is a journey. Learn More -

₹200.00In its unique style, this book presents a chronicle of an ordinary middle class Bengali woman who penned down stories of her life but preferred to be anonymous to the reader. The pages of this cathartic diary carry the pathos of a dying woman’s sufferings out of rootlessness that she encountered in different junctures of her life. This is a story narrating the ups and downs of a little girl’s journey towards womanhood that might apparently sound insipid, but when read closely, is an account of a pervasive social canvas over a certain time period in history. The presentation of this anonymous autobiographical memoir before the readers by an individual other than the author herself adds a distinctive flavour to this book. More attractive it gets when some illustrations made by the author are included in it as pictorial expressions of her emotions, perceptions and thoughts. Learn More
