Author:
Ram Haldar
The history of printing, book buying, and bookshops in Bengali literature and cultural discourse appears incomplete without the presence of Battala literature. Kamalalaya Stores, located outside Goranhat and College Street, stood on the opposite side of Jyoti Cinema. There, an exceptional book vendor named Ram Haldar established a prominent bookstore. The book delves into the literary and book culture of the 1940s and 1950s, revealing the history of a reader and another aspect of that era. It unveils the covert beginnings of film societies during that period and provides an in-depth description of discussions on cinema and music. Additionally, it offers a fresh account of the early life of Satyajit Ray.
