India: A Million Mutinies Now

THE THIRD BOOK IN V.S. NAIPAUL`S ACCLAIMED INDIAN TRILOGY — WITH A NEW PREFACE BY THE AUTHOR Much has changed since V. S. Naipaul`s first trip to India and this fascinating account of his return journey focuses on India`s development since independence. Taking an anti-clockwise journey around the metropolises of India — including Bombay, Madras, Calcutta, and Delhi — Naipaul offers a kaleidoscopic, layered travelogue, encompassing a wide collage of religions, castes, and classes at a time when the percolating ideas of freedom threatened to shake loose the old ways. The brilliance of the book lies in Naipaul`s decision to approach this shifting, changing land from a variety of perspectives: the author humbly recedes, allowing the Indians to tell the stories of their own lives, and a dynamic oral history of India emerges before our eyes. India: A Million Mutinies Now is a truly perceptive work whose insights continue to inform travellers of all generations to India. `Brilliantly enjoyable …Everybody should read him` Sunday Telegraph `With this book he may well have written his own enduring monument, in prose at once stirring and intensely personal, distinguished both by style and critical acumen` Financial TImes
