Quatrième de couverture
'A chronicle that rivals its subject matter in energy and scope...His talent is dizzying and his narrative a rich accomplishment. I walked miles in Delhi - without moving an inch' The Times
In an extraordinary portrayal of one of the world's fastest growing cities, Sam Miller sets out to discover the real Delhi. Following a spiral course through the city, he visits its less celebrated destinations; the unexpected, the ignored and the eccentric. Through his encounters with Delhi's people - from a professor of astrophysics to a crematorium attendant, from ragpickers to members of the Police Brass Band - Miller creates a richly entertaining portrait of what this megacity means to its residents. The modern Delhi he depicts, in all its humour and humanity, is one whose future concerns us all.
'The sharpest reflection of the capital since William Dalrymple's City of Djinns...Read this book and laugh, grow and gaze in gob-smacked wonder at India's whirling dreamtown' Guardian
'The liveliest of city travelogues, a beguiling introduction to the Indian capital and an irresistible read for even the faintly curious' Literary Review
'A thoroughly entertaining book about a fascinating city' Financial Times
Revue de presse
"A wild, spiralling wonder of a book... the sharpest reflection of the capital since William Dalrymple's City of Djinns... Read this book and laugh, grow and gaze in gob-smacked wonder at India's whirling dreamtown" (Rory Maclean Guardian)
"The liveliest of city travelogues, a beguiling introduction to the Indian capital and an irresistible read for even the faintly curious" (Literary Review)
"A chronicle that rivals its subject matter in energy and scope... His talent is dizzying and his narrative a rich accomplishment. I walked miles in Delhi - without moving an inch" (The Times)
"A dizzying, droll travelogue... Miller's multitudinous city snapshots elucidate the paradoxes of gloablisation without judgement, and his tales of urban wandering form a valuable archive of a rapidly transforming city. Miller's forays into city slums are poignant, humanising evocations of Delhi's underside" (Hirsh Sawnhey Guardian)
"A thoroughly entertaining book - even down to the countless footnotes - about a fascinating city" (Financial Times)
