商品簡介
Delhi is one-of-a-kind look at the city Sam Miller describes as being India’s dream townand its purgatory.” Its ancient monuments, imperial buildings and celebrities make appearances; but it is through Miller’s encounters with Delhi’s residentsfrom a professor of astrophysics to a crematorium attendant, from ragpickers to members of the Police Brass Bandthat he creates a richly entertaining portrait of what Delhi means to its people, and of what kind of city it is becoming.
The modern Delhi that emerges is one whose future concerns us all. Miller possesses an intense curiosity; he has an infallible eye for life’s diversities, for all the marvelous and sublime moments that illuminate people’s lives. This is a generous, original, and humorous portrait of a great city; one which unerringly locates the humanity beneath the mundane, the unsung, and the unfamiliar.
