Details

Three books, one thousand pages of text, written over thirty years, a work that could described as India: A Chronicle. But still he was not done. He travelled a number of times to India after that, always inquisitive, often writing, sometimes speaking, now an honoured and garlanded guest rather than an anonymous traveller.

1. AN AREA OF DARKNESS

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.

BOOK REVIEWS:

Brilliant tender, lyrical, explosive.- Observer.

2.INDIA: A WOUNDED CIVILIZATION

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.

BOOK REVIEWS:

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.

3.INDIA: A MILLION MUTINIES NOW

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.

BOOK REVIEWS:

Indispensable for anyone who wants seriously to come to grips with the experience of India. - New York Times Book Review.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR : V. S. Naipaul was born in Trinidad in 1932. He went to England on a scholarship in 1950. After four years at University College, Oxford, he began to write, and since then has followed no other profession. He has published more than twenty books of fiction and non-fiction, including Half a Life, A House for Mr Biswas, A Bend in the River and, most recently, a collection of correspondence, Letters Between a Father and Son, and The Masque of Africa. In 2001, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
