About the Book
Satyajit Ray and Rabindranath Tagore are one of the greatest visionaries this country has seen and Manik-er Khata is an ode to this golden era on screen, of witnessing Tagore’s stories through the eyes of Ray. This graphic novel takes you back to the time of the creation of these three films - Ghare Baire, Charulata and Teen Kanya and draws out the narrative through Ray’s own perspective. Enriched with anecdotal storytelling, Manik-er Khata leads you into the world of Ray’s meticulous process of unravelling Tagore’s stories and representing them on screen, with special attention to the representation of Bengali fashion during that era. This book brings under an illustrated umbrella the scattered anecdotes and stories of Ray and Tagore.
