Synopsis
The world's leading sitar player and elder statesman of Indian culture, Ravi Shankar spent his teenage years as a dancer in the glamorous world of 1930s Paris and New York. After studying in India with classical Hindustani music master Allauddin Khan, Ravi's early career culminated in a successful tour of Soviet Russia in 1954 with the huge, prestigious first cultural delegation sent by Jawaharlal Nehru.

Review
The work is quite breathtaking in the magnificence of its production and quality of presentation. Congratulations on an exceptional feat of publishing. The general feel of the book takes us back to a more luxurious age when books were works of fine art and not just an expendable commodity. -- Graham Wade, Writer and Musician, January 1998
