Description
Indigo is a veritable treasure trove for those who like a taste of the unusual in a story and an unexpected twist at the end.
Indigo is the mood in this new collection of stories about the supernatural, the peculiar and the inexplicable from Satyajit Ray, one of the best-loved writers of our time.
There are tales here of dark horror, fantasy and adventure along with heart-warmingly funny stories about ordinary people in extraordinary situations. In Big Bill Tulsi Babu picks up a newly-hatched chick from a forest and brings it home only to find it growing bigger and fiercer by the day; and in the title story, a young executive resting in an old abandoned bungalow for a night finds himself caught in a chilling sequence of events which occurred more than a century ago.
Also included here is The Magical Mystery, a brand new Feluda story discovered amongst Ray's papers after his death, and several tales featuring Uncle Tarini, the master storyteller, who appears in translation for the first time.
