Brian Paul Bach was born in Wisconsin, USA in 1954, and is keenly interested in most subjects pertaining to the subcontinent. He has been a factory worker, stagehand, carpenter, and is a librarian, filmmaker, artist and writer. He lives with his wife in Washington State, USACalcutta, the Star of the East, is a great city, a City of Palaces, of people and of ''Joy''. Calcutta''s buildings are entertaining in a compelling sense, akin to a great epic drama, and so they are, in a serious pictorial sense as well - a grand display gallery. Because of its political and economic history, the city and its background have been lavishly documented. As a matter of record it has sufficient awareness of its own architectural heritage. Calcutta''s Edifice allows these buildings to ''speak for themselves''. Illustrated by the author, this book strives to achieve a point of view not of a foreigner but of an appreciator. With notes of the past and seductive speculations of the future, it examines the architectural and associated apparatuses of Calcutta as it is.
