Tritiya Bhubhan by Mrinal Sen [Hardcover]

An autobiography. Built upon fragmented memories, both big and small, Mrinal Sen looks back at his life. He does not believe in the conventional autobiography, nor does he blindly trust memories. He writes as those past days come to him like a blur as if riding on the back of time. Through the threads of his long life, his world of films traces back to the 1930s and 1940s, spanning almost the entire previous century in this book. If "Bhuban Shome" or "Amar Bhuban" were Mrinal Sen’s two worlds of thought, one created around the life and beauty of two emotional women from rural Bengal or the village of Baladi in Gujarat, this autobiography would then be his "third world."
