Written by Calcutta's most noted scholars, writers, and artists, these lavishly illustrated books celebrate the tercentenary of India's most vibrant city. There are essays on the history, economy, art, music, literature, and cinema of Calcutta, while the people, places, and institutions that have shaped this teeming city over three centuries are brought to life in a series of fascinating portraits.

Review:
"This weighty collection of eighty-six essays, with nearly a thousand illustrations, celebrates the history and the cultural life of the former second city of the British Empire. It does so with greater rigour and variety than is usual in such commemorations."--Observer"The stirring events of the city's past, its squalid present and none-too-reassuring future--all come to life through the 50 major articles in the two volumes. An invaluable addition to the bibliography of old Calcutta, the book is also a testimony to the intellectual vigour that has made Calcutta the living city that it is."--The Statesman
