Raga Mala: The Autobiography of Ravi Shankar



George Harrrison and Oliver Craske, Raga Mala: The Autobiography of Ravi Shankar, New York: Welcome rain Publishers LLC, 1999

336 pages; brown cloth boards with gilt text at spine and along with dust jacket
9.5 x 6.75 x 1.25 in (24 x 17.5 x 3.5 cm)

This is a Presentation copy by Ravi Shankar to Sharon. Hand-signed by Ravi Shankar on the half title page bearing presentation inscription "ॐ (Om) To Sharon / Ravishankar" and dated 5.6.2000.

Raga Mala features a remarkable collection of photographs and documents drawn almost entirely from the personal archives of Ravi Shankar and George Harrison. A large number of these had never been published before. Classically elegant in design and presented to the very highest of standards, it is a beautiful record of an extraordinary life.

Ravi Shankar was the world's foremost sitar-virtuoso and composer, the man christened by George Harrison as the 'Godfather of World Music', who spearheaded the international spread of Indian culture. He had a remarkable story to tell, and he brings to the task the same contrasting qualities that make him as uncommon a man as a musician: that mixture of charm and candour, of dignity and humility, of deep spirituality and wide-eyed, impish fun.
