Description:
তৃতীয় ভুবন is an autobiographical work by the legendary filmmaker Mrinal Sen. The book is a deeply reflective and introspective journey through the fragmented memories of his life. Unlike conventional autobiographies, Mrinal Sen does not blindly adhere to the idea of self-narrative nor does he fully trust his memories. Instead, he has written in a stream-of-consciousness style, recalling moments from his life that are as hazy as the dim light of bygone days.

Through this personal account, Sen delves into the decades from the 1930s and 1940s to the end of the 20th century, using his world of cinema as a backdrop. The book reflects his profound connection to his films, including Bhuban Shome and Amar Bhuban, which were formative works in his career. These films represent two distinct "worlds" for him, while this book—his third world, or Tritiya Bhubhan—is a culmination of all his reflections on life and art.

In this poignant memoir, Mrinal Sen offers readers a rare glimpse into the mind of a master filmmaker, unraveling the nuances of his life, thoughts, and work in a way that only he could.
