Amar Baba Satyajit Ray by Sandip Ray [Hardcover]

From a young age, Sandip Ray saw Satyajit Ray in many different roles. At times, he was a loving father, designing birthday cards for his son. At other times, he was the serious, profound director, creating one timeless film after another, attending international film festivals, and winning prestigious awards. Yet, this same man would also sit quietly at home, writing Feluda and Shonku stories, illustrating book covers and film posters, composing music, and editing the magazine Sandesh. Later, when Sandip began working in his father's film unit, he came to know Satyajit Ray in an entirely new light. This book is born from those experiences. Here, Sandip Ray offers a vivid portrayal of Satyajit Ray and the world around him. The narrative includes anecdotes from various film shoots and mentions interactions with legendary figures such as Chhabi Biswas, Uttam Kumar, Kishore Kumar, Soumitra Chatterjee, Rabi Ghosh, as well as international icons like Marlon Brando, Richard Attenborough, Gérard Depardieu, Akira Kurosawa, Frank Capra, Roman Polanski, Arthur C. Clarke, and many more. The writings, originally serialized in Anandamela, received wide acclaim upon publication. This book edition also includes several rare photographs to enrich the reading experience.
