It occurs to me that the text on the Bangla books I designed are only accessible to those who read the language. So I will write a little more here about each of the books, starting with the first one – Amare dei tomar haate. It is a translation of Inês Pedrosa’s beautifully layered novel, Nas Tuas Mãos (1997) from Portuguese into Bangla by Rita Ray, and published by Jadavpur University Press.
