Books of Ray

Satyajit Ray was a man with many talents. His genius did not stop at directing movies alone. He was a gifted graphic artist who would often sketch out decorative motifs, costume designs, and character studies for the film he was currently directing. Apart from this, he had also penned a number of books over the years. These not only dealt with treatments of scripts of the movies he intended to direct or help someone to direct but also included literary manuscripts in their own right and were as such highly regarded by his adoring public and critics alike. Thousands of Bengalis in particular will have fond memories of Feluda, the inimitable detective, and Ray's science fiction stories with which they grew up.
