Collected Short Stories Satyajit Ray(Paperback)

Satyajit Ray wrote short fiction with the same eye for detail he brought to film, and this thick Penguin volume collects that work in English translation. The stories run to mystery, the uncanny, science fiction and quiet comedy, usually built around ordinary Bengali households and offices where something slightly wrong begins to show. Most pieces are brief and close on a turn rather than an explanation, so the 688-page collection reads well in short sessions spread over a long period. It also serves as an introduction for readers who know Ray mainly through his cinema. Features of this copy: • A large gathering of Ray's short fiction in one paperback • Stories carried into English from the Bengali originals • Mystery, fantasy and gentle humour across the selection • 688 pages in a single continuous volume Recommended for admirers of Ray's films, readers of Bengali literature and short-story collectors, published by Penguin and available at Boipoka.
