Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satyajit Ray (1921-1991), polymath, polyglot, novelist, short-story writer, illustrator, designer, music composer, was one of the most eminent film directors of world cinema. His Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road, 1955) established his position as a major film director, winning numerous awards. Recipient of the Lifetime Academy Award in 1992 'In recognition of his rare mastery of the art of motion pictures and for his profound humanitarian outlook, which has had an indelible influence on filmmakers and audiences throughout the world', Ray took Indian cinema to a grand platform hitherto unachieved by any Indian film director. "Not to have seen the cinema of Ray means,' said Akira Kurosawa, 'existing in the world without seeing the sun or the moon.' While Ray's films are fairly well-known, his writings-fiction and non-fiction-written in Bengali and English continue to attract attention. His illustrations, design works, comic strips, science fictions, detective stories are gems of Indian literature. Ray's non-fictions are gems, which bring to lights his thoughts on film-making, film appreciation, composition of music, art, design and screenplay, among others. 'The Penguin Ray Library' is an endeavour to open a window to the master's writings to a wide spectrum of readers. From the ever-popular adventures of Ray's enduring creation, the professional sleuth Feluda to the chronicles of Professor Shonku; short stories; writings on filmmaking; and thoughts on world as well as Indian cinema, among others, this anthology, a two-volume boxset, The Best of Satyajit Ray is not only a treat for the Ray enthusiasts but also a collector's edition.

Book excerpt: 3 novellas, 2 authors, 1 book India 24 - Mundane tales, cliche, acute events and ordinary lives from around India intersect over a period of 24 hours to form a unique montage which provides insight into the irony of power play, corruption and mutual exploitation in contemporary India. Individuals from different social and economic strata, with varied motivations, occupations and preoccupations struggle frantically to strike balance in their lives inter-weaved with each other through webbing of love, sex, jealousy, fantasy, deceit, conceit and violence in an indifferent uninspiring world in utmost need of a hero but without any. 3 on a Bed - 3 people - one woman and two men share a bed to celebrate friendship that ensues the most democratic and secular form of being where the 'one true love' can be shared in the most selfless way through the union of minds and bodies together in our very real, mundane and pragmatic world. Can the 'polyamoric' lifestyle of the ménage-de-trios help them overcome all such issues of jealousy, possessiveness and sexual hegemony that lies hidden in every conjugal relationship through their feelings of empathy and compassion or does their relationship go the well beaten way of people shredding themselves to pieces over power, position and possession? 1 Day for Love - Through the evaluation of her personal paranoia associated with Holi, the festival of colors - a day for free mixing of the sexes and free expression of love, and its evolution over a period of three decades a young woman takes a look at the changing dynamics of gender politics and social discrimination culminating in an all encompassing erosion of social bonding and an innate growth of indifference, all centering around this day reflecting and refracting through the many loves of her life.
