₹225.00Narrates a breathtaking journey into the inner basin of the eastern Nepal Himalayas and the ancient Tibetan villages there. This journey was inspired by historic Tibet-expedition of Pandit Sarat Chandra Das in the nineteenth century. It retraces and reimagines the ancient and modern routes, and maps the socio-cultural spectrum of Indo-Tibetan confluences. The description of traditional pathways to the north-western base camp of Kanchenjunga and the sublime experience at Pangpema give this journey a unique dimension. The dangerous trails, the sublimity of the mountains, the gomphas, the soulful music of life in the remote Himalayas make this a book to be cherished. Learn More -

₹350.00‘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 -
