<!-- Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:Ray2.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Ray behind the camera]] -->[[Satyajit Ray]](1921-1992), a [[Bengali people|Bengali]] [[film director]] from [[India]], is well known for his contributions to [[Bangla literature]]. He created two of the most famous characters in [[Bengali language|Bengali]]: [[Feluda]] the sleuth, and [[Professor Shanku]] the scientist. He wrote several short [[novel]]s and stories in addition to those based on these two characters. His fiction was targeted mainly at younger readers, though it became popular among children and adults alike.

==Filmography Of Ray==
'''''Bankubabur Bandhu''''' (''Banku Babu's Friend'' or ''Mr. Banku's Friend'') was a [[Bangla science fiction]] story Ray had written in 1962 for ''[[Sandesh (magazine)|Sandesh]]'', the Ray family magazine, which gained popularity among [[Bengali people|Bengalis]] in the early 1960s. What differentiated ''Bankubabur Bandhu'' from previous [[science fiction]] was the portrayal of an alien from outer space as a kind and playful being, invested with magical powers and capable of interacting with children, in contrast to earlier science fiction works which portrayed aliens as dangerous creatures.

* Pather Panchali (Song of the Road), 1955
Several [[science fiction film]]s were inspired by the story, including Ray's own script for ''The Alien'' (which was eventually cancelled in the late 1960s), [[Steven Spielberg]]'s ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]'' (1977) and ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial]]'' (1982),<ref name=timesofindia>{{cite web|title=Close encounters with native E.T. finally real|date=5 April 2003|publisher=''[[The Times of India]]''|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/42443247.cms|accessdate=2009-03-24}}</ref> and [[Rakesh Roshan]]'s ''[[Koi... Mil Gaya]]'' (2003), which itself inspired the [[Indonesia]]n television series ''Si Yoyo''. The story of ''Bankubabur Bandhu'' itself was eventually adapted into a [[television film]] by Satyajit's son [[Sandip Ray]] alongside [[Koushik Sen]] in 2006.<ref name=eventsbengaluru>{{cite web|title=BANKUBABUR BANDHU & SAMUDRER MOUNA at Rangashankara|publisher=Events Bangalore|date=October 11th, 2006|url=http://eventsbengaluru.com/2006/10/11/bankubabur-bandhu-samudrer-mouna-at-rangashankara|accessdate=2009-03-24}}</ref>

<!-- Image with inadequate rationale removed: [[Image:Ekerpithedui.jpg|thumb|Cover of a collection of [[Satyajit Ray]]'s short stories|100px|right]] -->
* [[Apur Sansar]] (1959)
Satyajit Ray penned many other short stories not based on any famous characters. These stories, which used to be published as collections of twelve stories, were mostly urbane, and were very unassuming until the very last line or last paragraph where suddenly a new revelation left the reader amazed. Many of these stories dealt with the way trivial incidents change the course of one's life, while some other stories were chilling horror stories. The language of the stories was very straightforward and lucid.
* Devi (1960)

* [[Teen Kanya]] (1961)
Ray also translated some short stories (mostly adventure stories) from English and a collection of stories named ''Braziler Kalo Bagh'' was published. He also translated Ray Bradbury's 'Third Expedition' from ''Martian Chronicles'' as 'Mongol-i Shorgo'(Mars is Heaven).
* Kanchanjungha (1962)

* Abhijan (1962)
==Poetry==
* Mahanagar (1963)
Satyajit Ray translated and wrote some [[limerick]]s that were published in a collection - ''Toray Bandha Ghorar Dim'' (A bunch of Horse-Eggs!). He was also the translator of Lewis Carrol's ''Jabberwocky''. In translation the poem is renamed 'Joborkhaki'.
* Charulata (1964)

* Kapurush (1965)
==Mullah Nasiruddin==
* Mahapurush (1965)
A collection of very short stories based on [[Mullah Nasiruddin]] (a fictional character from the Middle East known for his witty and comic character) was collected by Satyajit Ray and published as ''Mullah Nasiruddiner Galpo'' (Storis of Mullah Nasiruddin).
* Nayak (1966)

* Chidiakhana (1967)
==Others==
* [[Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne]] (1969)
''Fatikchand'' was a novel that dealt with a teenage boy; ''Sujan Harbola'' (Sujan the Mimic) is a collection of fables. ''Ekei Bole Shooting'' is a collection of Satyajit Ray's experiences and reflections during the making of his films. ''Jakhon Choto Chilam'' is a memoir dealing with his childhood days. ''[[Our Films, Their Films]]'' is an anthology of film criticism. ''Bishoy Chalachitro'' is another book by Ray on films.
