In his writing, Ray created two popular fictional characters in Bengali children's literature—Feluda, a detective, and Professor Shonku, a scientist. The Feluda stories are narrated by Topse, Feluda’s teenage cousin, something of a Watson to Feluda's Holmes. The science fictions of Shonku are presented as a diary discovered after the scientist had mysteriously disappeared. 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquotessatyajitray“Somehow I feel that an ordinary person–the man in the street if you like–is a more challenging subject for exploration than people in the heroic mold. It is the half shades, the hardly audible notes that I want to capture and explore.” / Satyajit Ray, who died April 23, 1992, was an Indian filmmaker, composer, and author, widely regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers of the 20th century. 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquotessatyajitray“He knows so little and knows it so fluently.” / Ellen Glasgow, born April 22, 1873, was an American novelist who won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1942 for “In This Our Life” which was made into a film the same year. Publishing her first novel at 24, she would go on to write 20 books including seven novels known for portraying the changing world of the contemporary South. 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquotesellenglasgow“The only rule I have found to have any validity in writing is not to bore yourself.” / John Mortimer, English author and lawyer who created the character of Horace Rumpole, was born April 21, 1923. 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquotesjohnmortimer“I suppose we were worn down and shivering. Three a.m. is a mean spirited hour. I suppose we were drenched, with the cold hose water trickling in at our collars and settling down at the tail of our shirts. Without doubt the heavy brass couplings felt moulded from metal-ice. Probably the open roar of the pumps drowned the petulant buzz of the raiders above, and certainly the ubiquitous fire-glow made an orange stage-set of the streets. Black water would have puddled the city alleys and I suppose our hands and faces were black as the water. Black with hacking about among the burnt-up rafters. These things were an every-night nonentity. They happened and they were not forgotten because they were not even remembered.” / William Sansom 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquoteswilliamsansom25% Off Bed & Bath, which means shower curtains, bath mats and hand & body towels are all on sale! 🛁 Check out all the great products in our Society6 shop here http://tiny.cc/GasStationB or follow the link in our profile to shop all the great designs we have available!
