description

http://schema.org/description

  • "Novel based on the history of Delhi from 1265 to 1984 riots and the story of a journalist fallen on bad times and his relationship with a hijra (eunuch) named Bhagmati."
  • ""Vast, erotic, irreverant magnum opus on the city of Delhi. The principal narrator of the saga, which extends over six hundred years, is a bawdy, ageing [sic] reprobate who loves Delhi as much as he does the hijda whore Bhagmati--half man, half woman with the sexual inventiveness and energy of both the sexes. Travelling through time, space and history to 'discover' his beloved city, the narrator meets a myriad of people--poets and princes, saints and sultans, temptresses and traitors, emperors and eunuchs--who have participated in (and been witness to) the major historical forces that have shaped and endowed Delhi with its very special mystique."--Page 4 of cover."
  • "Une saga dans laquelle un vieillard, amoureux d'un travesti plein de vitalité, invite le lecteur à parcourir la capitale indienne pour découvrir son histoire, ses espaces, ses poètes, ses femmes, ses sultans, ses assassins..."
  • "Story, spread over 600 years, all about all sorts of people who have shaped Delhi."
