Inhaltsangabe
Bombay's story, told through the lives, often desperately near the edge, of some of the people who live there. The complex texture of these extraordinary tales is threaded together by Suketu Mehta's own history of growing up in Bombay and returning to live there after a 21-year absence. Hitmen, dancing girls, cops, movie stars, poets, beggars and politicians - Suketu looked at the city through their eyes, and in looking found the city within himself.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Dustwrapper clean and bright. ***498 pages. 242 mm x 160 mm. ***''Maximum City is a true insider's view of this stunning city. A native of Bombay, Suketu Mehta approaches the city from unexpected angles - taking us into the criminal underworld of rival Muslim and Hundu gangs who wrest control of the city's byzantine political and commercial systems; following the life of a bar dancer who chose the only life available to her after a childhood of poverty and abuse; finding a policeman to rival any fictional detective; opening the doors onto the fantastic, hierarchical inner sanctums of Bollywood; delving into the stories of the countless people who come from the villages in search of a better life and end up living on the sidewalks - the essential saga of a great city endlessly played out. ***Through it all - as each individual story unfolds - we hear Mehta's own story: of the mixture of love, frustration, fascination and intense identification he feels for and with Bombay, as he tries to find home again after twenty-one years abroad. Part memoir, part journalism, part travelogue, and written with the relentless observation and patience of a novelist, it is a riveting portrait of men and women in the megalopolis, and a guide to the future of 'the city' itself.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***The first impression of the true first edition, in its original dustwrapper, in bright clean condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Artikel-Nr. 6313
