Description
A classic of modern travel writing, An Area of Darkness is Nobel laureate V.S. Naipaul?s profound reckoning with his ancestral homeland, republished as part of the Picador Collection. Travelling from the bureaucratic morass of Bombay to the ethereal beauty of Kashmir, from a sacred ice cave in the Himalayas to an abandoned temple near Madras, Naipaul encounters a dizzying cross-section of humanity: brow-beaten government workers and imperious servants, a suavely self-serving holy man and a deluded American religious seeker. An Area of Darkness also abounds with Naipaul?s strikingly original responses to India?s paralysing caste system, its acceptance of poverty and squalor, and the conflict between its desire for self-determination and its nostalgia for the British raj. This may be the most elegant and passionate book ever written about the subcontinent.
