From ever since I can remember, I had always loved reading. Living other lives through imagined worlds of fiction, knowing about new philosophical ideas, understanding what do persons of other countries, languages and cultures think and why, all this was possible through the books. Today's images are of 3 authors from 3 continents, who were all born in the same period (around 1880s) and had become well known. Did they know each other, had they ever read each other's works, I do not know. But I am happy to bring them together in a literary meeting through my pictures - Khalil Gibran (Lebanese), Munshi Prem Chand (Indian) and James Joyce (Irish).

जबसे मुझे याद है मुझे हमेशा किताबें पढ़ना अच्छा लगता था. कहानियों के काल्पनिक जगतों में अन्य जीवनों को जीना, दर्शन के नये विचारों को जानना, अन्य देशों, भाषाओं व सभ्यताओं के लोग क्या और क्यों सोचते हैं समझना, यह सब किताबों से मिला. आज की तस्वीरें तीन महाद्वीपों के तीन लेखकों की हैं जो एक ही समय में (1880 के आसपास) पैदा हुए थे और जिन्होंने बहुत ख्याति पायी. क्या यह तीनों एक दूसरे को जानते थे, क्या उन्होंने एक दूसरे के लेखन को पढ़ा था, यह मुझे नहीं मालूम. पर तस्वीरों के माध्यम से उनकी साहित्यक गोष्ठी आयोजित करके मुझे खुशी हो रही है - खलील ग्रिबाँ (लेबनान), मुँशी प्रेमचन्द (भारत) तथा जेम्स जोयस (आयरलैंड).

Da quando mi ricordo, ho sempre amato leggere. Vivere altre vite tramite i mondi immaginari dei racconti, conoscere nuove idee filosofiche, capire quello che pensano le persone di altri paesi, altre lingue e altre culture e perché, tutto era possibile tramite i libri. Le immagini di oggi hanno 3 autori da 3 continenti diversi, i quali erano nati nello stesso periodo (intorno a 1880) ed erano diventati famosi. Si conoscevano tra di loro, avevano letto gli scritti uno dell'altro, questo non lo so. Comunque, sono contento di farli stare insieme in un incontro letterario tramite le mie foto - Khalil Gibran (libanese), Munshi Prem Chand (indiano) e James Joyce (Irlandese).
