Satyajit Ray (1921-92) was one of the greatest film-makers of his time. In 1992, he was awarded the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In the same year he was also honoured with the Bharat Ratna.
Ray was also a writer of repute, and his short stories, novellas, poems and articles, written in Bengali, have been immensely popular. He has published several books in Bengali, most of which became bestsellers.
He is also the author of the famous Feluda stories, the translations of which have been made available by Penguin.

Between 1965 and 1992, Satyajit Ray wrote a total of 35 Fulda stories, featuring the detective Pradesh C. Matter. The plots involve murder, intrigue and adventure, narrated in a racy, humorous style. All the stories are now available in a two volume omnibus.
This second volume shows Felida at the peak of his sleuthing career. He is at his inimitable best as he tracks down the last known letter of Napoleon, or investigates a sinister crime that has to do with Tintoretto's painting of Jesus.
