Soft cover. Zustand: New. In 1932 Durgabati Ghose an upper middle-class Bengali woman accompanied her husband on a trip across Europe The Westward Traveller originally Paschimjatriki is an enchanting written record of this four-month long sojourn Filtered through her upper middle-class upbringing and perceptions the narrative is observant not only emphasising on a sense of place space and landscape but also an aesthetic intrinsic appreciation of every destination The writing comes alive in the author?s everyday interactions with ordinary people be they fellow travellers or hotel owners or even beggars Focussing on an accurate description of the ?real world? she is always concerned with verisimilitudeAn interesting fact about this travelogue is that even within its set pattern it offers nuggets of history What makes the account endearing is the various examples of intercultural encounters and wry comments often arising from not knowing the language and making value judgments that can be cited at random As Ashis Nandy says in his Foreword to this translated work ?the way Durgabati recounts her adventures in Europe makes them variations on familiar Bengali domesticity interpersonal patterns and femininity played outside their natural locale This gives the travelogue a stamp of predictability and at the same time a touch of robust irreverent charm and self-confidence? To translate this depiction of Europe in colonial times through the eyes of a modernising Bengali woman has been a ?labour of love? for translator Somdatta Mandal Simple and lucid in style the work retains the traces of the times in which it was originally written and is faithful to the intention of the narrative Coloured in the expanding consciousness of an individual woman exploring previously unknown areas of the world away from the home and hearth characterised by conventionality conservatism and domesticity this travel narrative will be a significant contribution to the history of women?s travel narratives from colonial Bengal 128 pp.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Though written and published serially during the middle of his writing career around 1943-1944, Manik Bandyopadhyay s Khooni (The Murderer) was discovered much later and published posthumously in book form only in 2013. Like most of his other novels, this short novella deals primarily with the dark alleyways of the human mind of ordinary people. Here we find the psychological ramifications within the mind of the main protagonist Mukunda, who, after murdering his wife Kamini, tries to lead life according to his own terms.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Travels formed an integral part of the personae and creative artist that was Rabindranath Tagore. During his travels to England and the USA (1912-13 and 1920) Tagore wrote essays for publication in various Bengali journals. In 1939, Tagore selected fourteen of these essays and an appendix containing seven letters he had written to some of the teachers in the Shantiniketan ashram while he was on these trips, for publication as a volume. Tagore rewrote the original essays then using the colloquial instead of the formal language; he also revised the texts substantially. Later editions altered the number of essays, sometimes digressing from Tagore's own selection, sometimes going back to Tagore's original formal language. The travelogue provides an insight into Tagore's perception of the different facets of western life and the diverse philosophical issues that cross his mind as he journeys from one continent to another. Translated from Bengali for the first time, Pather Sanchoy would be of interest to all those who enjoy exploring unknown territories geographically and psychologically.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. This book is a humble attempt to bring Rituparno Ghosh s cinematic oeuvre as comprehensively as possible, where he speaks in his own words about the making and reception of his films. All criticism of films by others has been deliberately avoided. Culled sometimes from his own writing, from television talk shows, and from numerous interviews he gave in Bangla and English, both in the audio-visual and print media, these entries, most of them translated from original Bengali for the first time, will help to assess his beliefs and thought-patterns much better and eventually make us understand what a multi-faceted filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh was an evaluation long overdue after his untimely death in 2013.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Though Indians have been travelling for the last few centuries, documentation of their travels has been scarce and far between. Since the beginning of this century, books and articles on Indian travel writing has become quite conspicuous and the numbers are growing at quite a rapid pace. At present Indian Travel Writing in all its variety has also become an established genre of academic discipline encompassing history, sociology, anthropology, memoirs, adventure tales and many more areas. This anthology on Indian travel writing contains twenty-three essays that try to cover several new aspects of this protean genre ranging from the eighteenth century to texts written just a few years ago. Divided into five sections, it cuts across boundaries of time and space and enables new interpretations to be made. The individual essays, contributed by reputed scholars in the area as well as young academics researching in this field, cover general overviews, pilgrimages, and different kinds of travel within the country and abroad. Special emphasis has been given to hitherto lesser-known travel narratives pertaining to the North East, and those written in bhasha literatures.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. In the summer of 1890, Jaladhar Sen left behind a life of domesticity and embarked on an adventure across some of India's most sacred landscapes, from Hrishikesh, all the way to Badrinath. Armed with little more than a blanket, a staff, and a book of songs by the renowned Bengali poet and Baul singer Kangal Harinath, he journeyed through perilous mountain passes, snowbound valleys, and remote pilgrim townsseeking not the divine, but solace for a life fractured by loss. Sen's deeply personal travelogue chronicles the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayasthe roaring Alakananda, the towering peaks of Nara and Narayan, the spiritual might of Shankaracharya's Joshimath, the bustling markets of Srinagar, and the ethereal stillness of Badrinathalong with a vivid cast of charactersfrom stoic sadhus, cunning pandas and officious police personnel to ailing young boys, large-hearted villagers and even fellow Bengali pilgrims. In the shadow of the Himalayas, Sen reflects on the complexities of faith, the hypocrisies of ascetic life, and the profound tenderness of human connection. Blending diary observations and literary flourish, Himalayfirst published in 1900had once captured the imagination of a generation of Bengalis, inspiring them to travel far beyond their homeland. This English translation reintroduces Sen's compelling account to a new audience, highlighting its historical importance and enduring charm as one of the earliest modern Bengali narratives of the Himalayan experience.…
