Reseña del libro "THE HOUSE THE PRESS BUILT Allahabad Anecdotes from the Indian Press Family (en Inglés)"

This is the story of Tagore's first publisher-the man they called a legend in printing. Having learnt
his trade at The Pioneer, Chintamoni Ghosh founded the Indian Press on 4 June 1884 in Allahabad
when he was just thirty years old.

It is the story of the Indian Press, yes, but also of the house that Chintamoni Babu built to shelter
his family. A memoir of its times, it evokes the way families once lived together in the great houses
of Allahabad-drawn from the recollections of Chintamoni Ghosh's children and grandchildren who
grew up in an atmosphere few families could claim to have, including royal weddings, dips in the
Mahakumbh, brushes with political unrest and more.

Tagore's classic Gitanjali was printed at the Indian Press, and the poet himself was a regular visitor
to the house the Press built. As Chintamoni Ghosh told his son Hari Keshav, to whom he entrusted
the running of the Press:

'This is not merely a press. It is a permanent contribution to the nation.'
