Chowringhee

Welcome to the Shahjahan, one of Calcutta`s oldest and most venerable hotels. In Chowringhee, the Shahjahan`s new receptionist regales his audience with stories of the people who spend their days and nights within the Shahjahan`s grand facade. Like Bengal itself, this is a place where greed, seduction and death live alongside love, luxury and pride. With wit, warmth, and ferocious energy, Chowringhee reveals to us an entire universe. One of the great novels of contemporary Indian literature, it presents a glittering vision of a lost metropolis, and an homage to an old Bengal of myth and memory.
