1 review for Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay Rachanabali Set 1-6
Rated 5 out of 5

Beyond the Bengali-speaking world, the name of Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay is inescapably associated with Satyajit Ray’s movie adaptation of his classic novel, Pather Panchali (published in 1929, released as a movie in 1955). But to readers of Bengali, Bandyopadhyay remains an icon, perhaps not as widely read and remembered as Rabindranath Tagore, but still admired by a cult-like following. Yet, on the eve of his 125th birth anniversary next week, Bandyopadhyay’s books seem urgently relevant to our time
