Indian Trilogy
AN AREA OF DARKNESS
''Brilliant ... tender, lyrical, explosive'' Observer
V.S. Naipaul was twenty-nine when he first visited India. This is his semi-autobiographical account-at once painful and hilarious, but always thoughtful and considered-a revelation both of the country and of himself.
INDIA: A WOUNDED CIVILIZATION
''A devastating work, but proof that a novelist of Naipaul''s stature can often define problems quicker and more effectively than a team of economists and other experts'' The Times
Prompted by the Emergency of 1975, Naipaul casts a more analytical eye, convinced that India, wounded by a thousand years of foreign rule, has not yet found an ideology of regeneration.
INDIA: A MILLION MUTINIES NOW
''Indispensable for anyone who wants seriously to come to grips with the experience of India'' New York Times Book Review
It is twenty-six years since Naipaul''s first trip to India. Taking an anti-clockwise journey around the metropolises-including Bombay, Madras, Calcutta and Delhi-he focuses on the country''s development since Independence. The author recedes, allowing Indians to tell the stories, and a dynamic oral history of the country emerges.
