Description

An anthology of short stories that master film-maker Satyajit Ray adapted
into films. A rich zamindar has a dream that his daughter-in-law is an
incarnation of Kali; a clerk's life turns upside down when he stumbles upon
a magical stone which can turn any base metal into gold; a housewife steps
out of her lowermiddle-class household into the big city to work as a
salesgirl, and is awestruck by its labyrinthine ways; blessed with three
magical boons from the king of ghosts, Goopy and Bagha fight the evil plans
of the king of Halla and save the kingdom of Shundi; a group of friends run
into a self-proclaimed ageless sage who claims to have been friends with
Plato, Jesus and Buddha. With short stories from legendary writers like
Tagore, Prabhat Kumar Mukhopadhyay, Rajshekhar Basu and Premchand, Fourteen
is a beautiful collection of tales Satyajit Ray transformed into films,
that have endured and become classics we all love and admire.
