An Enchanting Journey : Paresh Maity’S Kerala
Ravi Shankar
Kerala's beauty has found expression in some of the world's most popular works including books, films and paintings. 'An Enchanting Journey is another tribute to God's Own Country by one of the finest artists of our time, Paresh Maity - a painter who believes in the all pervasiveness of nature and yearns to understand more and more about nature. In this visual travelogue that is as much about self-discovery as story telling, the artist unveils some of the most endearing and refreshing works on God's Own Country. Providing the perfect accompaniment to this visual journey are the photographs of Nemai Ghosh - celebrated for his stills of Satyajit Ray's films and the text by Kerala-born Ravi Shankar, one of India's renowned political cartoonists and writers. For the uninitiated on Kerala, this book is an excellent prelude; for the familiar it is a new, yet nostalgic trip back to the land. Truly a celebration of Kerala, this book will no doubt take Kerala even closer to the heart of the world.
