About the Book:
Phatik Chand is the endearing tale of a child kidnapped from his home and his adventures after he loses his memory in an accident. The ready sympathy and even generosity of the poor is contrasted with the heartlessness and selfish calculativeness of the rich. A juggler called Harun takes care of him and when he finally regains his memory, Phatik is restored to his family by Harun. The relationship which develops between the boy and the juggler as the central theme of the novel is movingly sketched and delineated.
Satyajit Ray (1921-1992) writer, director, film producer, editor, music composer, book-designer, illustrator, graphic artist, calligraphist par excellence. The multifaceted personality of Ray found expression through not just his films to win him accolades, but also through advertising campaigns, cover jacket designs, musical scores of his films, illustrations and calligraphy. Phatik Chand is a translation from Bengali of a novel written by him.
Lila Ray is a writer in her own right. Her credentials as a translator are impressive and she has the translation of even Jibanananda Das’ poetry to her credit.
