Text / Sprache: Englisch , edited by Dom Moraes , The Penguin Book of Indian Journeys brings together pieces by some of the best contemporary writers in the English language. Travel writers-Indian and foreign, as well as compulsive wanderers without a home-engage with the comforts and the chaos, the convictions and the contradictions of modern, independent India. R.K. Narayan does a leisurely tour of Karnataka, taking the emerald route up and down the Ghats; V.S. Naipaul rages through hot, crowded and apathetic New Delhi; and Vikram Seth flies back, after months of hitch-hiking in strange lands, to familiars, respite and Delhi customs. Ruskin Bond explores the laid-back Agra of the 1960s in the shadow of the unchanging Taj; and midnight`s -child Salman Rushdie returns to the land of his birth to try and answer a riddle: Does India exist? At the Kumbh Mela, the world`s biggest religious festival, Mark Tully meets a 300- year-old sadhu. In the forests of the Western Ghats, Abraham Verghese hopes to run into the brigandVeerappan. Jan Morris rides the toy train to `the most celebrated of Indian hill stations` that is `all smallness`. And Bruce Chatwin hits the road with the entourage of the post-Emergency, out-of-power Indira Gandhi to see `Madam in action`. 372B ISBN 0141007648 Aufgrund der EU-Verpackungsverordnung (PPWR) erfolgt der Versand nur nach Deutschland und ins Nicht-EU-Ausland.
