The Elephanta Suite

Autor Paul Theroux
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 aug 2008
Award-winning writer Paul Theroux removes the mystery and reveals the real India in his compelling novelThe Elephanta Suite.

We in the West think we know India. But, as Paul Theroux reveals, we need to think again. . .

The Elephanta Suitebrilliantly explores the shifting stories of those who come to India in search of that elusive something - and of how they react when the country and people they encounter are altogether foreign to their expectations.

Through the eyes of a middle-aged couple, a sharp-suited lawyer and a gap-year traveller, we see illusions and preconceptions unravel, and an extraordinary new India - modern, complicated, uncertain of its coming future - appears before us.

'Highly readable'Sunday Times

'Theroux has a sharp eye. . . re-working the old colonial themes in light of the country's rapid but uneven development. Theroux hasn't lost any of his insight or power to enthral'Sunday Telegraph
