Autorenporträt
Chittaranjan Das (1923-2011) devoted his life to reading, writing, travelling, observing and critiquing society. He was a seeker and disseminator of ideas- from Denmark to Nepal and Agra to Ganjam-and he sought new ways of thinking which he endorsed only after subjecting them to relentless scrutiny. Though he published more than 200 books in different literary formats, the essay remained his medium of choice. In essay after essay, with a dazzling array of themes, he not only strove to expand the frontiers of knowledge, but also to shake the reader out of ethical and intellectual complacency.
