Nirbachito Rachana by Ramendu Majumdar [Hardcover]

Ramendu Majumdar, a leading figure in Bangladesh’s cultural sphere, does not write frequently, but among his works are several important writings. *Prothom Tirish* (The First Thirty) recounts the memories of the first thirty years of his life—his birth, upbringing, education, and entry into professional life. He has lived in diverse environments, some of which he has written about. His most substantial body of work revolves around theatre. His affiliation with the International Theatre Institute allowed him to travel extensively across the world, and he has written about those experiences as well. Among his original books are: *Bishoy: Natok* (Subject: Theatre), *Eki Satya Sakoli Satya* (Is Everything True?), *Amar School* (My School), *Kichu Shuni Kichu Bhuli* (I Hear Some, I Forget Some), *Prothom Tirish* (The First Thirty), *Bhuli Kemone* (How Can I Forget?), *Khuchro Lekha* (Scattered Writings), *Natok Niye* (On Theatre), and *Bishwanatyer Goti-Prokriti O Onnanyo* (The Trends and Nature of World Theatre and Others). This current collection features selected writings from his essays, memoirs, speeches, and travelogues. Many of the pieces reflect contemporary images of our society and politics.
