Présentation de l'éditeur :
Pankaj Mishra is one of the most promising talents of his generation, and this stunning, universally praised novel of self-discovery heralds a remarkable career.
The young Brahman Samar has come to the holy city of Benares to complete his education and take the civil service exam that will determine his future. But in this city redolent of timeworn customs, where pilgrims bathe in the sacred Ganges and breathe in smoke from burning ghats along the shore, Samar is offered entirely different perspectives on his country. Miss West and her circle, indifferent to the reality around them, represent those drawn to India as a respite from the material world. And Rajesh, a sometimes violent, sometimes mystical leader of student malcontents, presents a more jaundiced view. More than merely illustrating the clash of cultures, Mishra presents the universal truth that our desire for the other is our most painful joy.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Good. 277 pages. Cover worn On the banks of the Ganges, the holy ci ty of Benares groans and heaves along the fault line where modern India presses against its living past, as pilgrims bathe in the sacred waters while the bodies of the dead await by the thousands their turns on the burning ghats. Into this city comes in all in nocence young Samar to complete his university studies and take t he civil-service examinations that will determine his future. An uprooted Brahman, bearing the responsibilities of his caste but s horn of its privileges, Samar, obsessed by the intellectual cultu re of the West but shaped by ancient obligations due his ancestor s, finds himself suspended between conflicted worlds. He is the c lassic young man from the provinces, propelled by curiosity and p assion beyond his comprehension. He will emerge with a story to t ell: a story of lost illusions and the joy and pain of love. On h is journey of self-discovery, Samar is accompanied by two guides: Rajesh, an impoverished fellow Brahman, a hanger-on at the unive rsity who has mysterious powers over a band of student malcontent s that has made him its leader; and Miss West, his neighbor in th e ramshackle lodging where he has taken a room. Miss West--Englis h, fortyish, her good looks so far intact--will introduce Samar t o her circle of Western friends who have come to Benares seeking a culture more resonant than their own. From Rajesh, Samar will d iscover the dead end to which that culture has come. When he arri ves in Benares, Samar knows Miss West's world only through the bo oks he has read. By the time he is ready to leave the holy city, Samar's Brahman reserves will have been tested to the breaking po int by Miss West's beautiful friend Catherine and by the horror t o which Rajesh has exposed him. He survives by the grace of chara cter and intelligence with which his brilliant creator--one of th e most promising talents of his Anglo-Indian generation--has endo wed him in this astonishingly mature first novel, the harbinger o f a major literary career.
