Description

In this novel, Amitav Ghosh takes us on an unusual journey along the paths of India, Arabia and North Africa. Three endearing and eccentric characters fuel the colourful adventures of Alu, a gifted young weaver: the opulent madam Zindi-the-Apple, Jyoti Das, a policeman with a passion for ornithology, and above all Balaram, a phrenologist who swears by his hero Louis Pasteur and takes a great interest in the bumps that cover Alu's head. The destinies of these bewildering heroes intersect and intertwine in a dazzling race of disasters and wonders. It's a saga of a novel that reconciles the spirit of the picaresque novel with that of modern storytelling.
