In an extraordinary portrayal of one of the world's fastest growing cities, Sam Miller sets out to discover the real Delhi.

Sam Miller investigates how the ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Chinese, Arabs, Africans, Europeans and Americans - everyone really, except for Indians themselves - came to imagine India. His account of the engagement between foreigners and India spans the centuries from Alexander the Great to Slumdog Millionaire.

Migrants cuts through the toxic debates to tell the rich and collective stories of humankind's urge to move'Fascinating... Miller's perspective may be just what we need' Daily Telegraph'Enjoyable, provocative and timely' Spectator'Timely and empathetic: a rare combination on this most controversial issue' Remi Adekoya'Tremendous: blends the personal and the panoramic to great effect' Robert WinderHumans are, in fundamental ways, a migratory species, more so than any other land mammal. For most of our existence , we were all nomads, and some of us still are. Houses and permanent settlements are a relatively late development - dating back little more than twelve thousand years. Borders and passports are much more recent. From the Neanderthals, Alexander the Great, Christopher Columbus and Pocahontas to the African slave trade, Fu Manchu, and Barack Obama, Migrants shows us that it is only by understanding how migration and migrants have been viewed in the past, that we can re-set the terms of the modern-day debate about migration.Migrants presents us with an alternative history of the world, in which migration is restored to the heart of the human story. And in which humans migrate for a wide range of reasons: not just because of civil war, or poverty or climate change but also out of curiosity and a sense of adventure. On arrival, migrants are expected both to assimilate and encouraged to remain distinctive; to defend their heritage and adopt a new one. They are sub-human and super-human; romanticised and castigated, admired and abhorred. Migrants tells us that this is not a new narrative; this is the history of us all, part of everybody's backstory - for those who consider themselves migrants and those who do not.

Sam: This is a story about me and my favorite companion and snuggle buddy (Bob - The Female Cat). Most of us know, the love for an animal can be very strong. Bob has been there for me through the good times and the bad. Good or bad, she is always purring and rubbing her face into mine. Animals can be very reliable for their love. Life is amazing and should always be appreciated. Sometimes I've found myself ready to give up and stop trying, and have said things like "I don't think I can" or "I don't think it's worth it." I didn't always know what support is available because I didn't reach out and ask. When I understood my feelings and became aware of how they affected others, I was able to offer something special.

Parfois, je me suis retrouv pr t abandonner et j'ai dit des choses comme je ne pense pas que je puisse ou je ne pense pas que cela en vaille la peine. Je ne savais pas toujours quel soutien tait disponible parce que je n'avais simplement pas demand . Lorsque j'ai compris mes sentiments et que j'ai pris conscience de la mani re dont ils affectaient les autres, j'ai pu offrir quelque chose de sp cial.

นี่เป็นเรื่องเกี่ยวกับผม (แซม) และเพื่อนตัวโปรดที่ชอบมาซบผม (บ๊อบ แมวเพศเมีย) บ๊อบได้อยู่เคียงข้างผมในช่วงเวลาที่ดีและแย่ จะดีจะร้ายเขาก็จะร้องและเอาหน้ามาถูผม สัตว์มันจะซื่อสัตย์ต่อความรักของตัวเองเสมอ เราควรขอบคุณชีวิต บางครั้งผมก็เกือบจะยอมแพ้และพูดว่า "ผมไม่คิดว่าผมจะทำได้" หรือ "ผมไม่คิดว่ามันจะคุ้มค่า" ผมไม่รู้เลยว่ากำลังใจสามารถหาได้ง่ายเพราะผมไม่เคยมองหาและร้องขอ เมื่อผมเข้าใจความรู้สึกของตัวเองและตระหนักว่าความรู้สึกที่ผมส่งให้คนอื่น มันส่งผลกระทบไปถึงพวกเขาอย่างไร นั้นมันทำให้ผมส่งมอบความรู้สึกพิเศษให้พวกเขาเสมอ

Dies ist die Geschichte ber mich (Sam) und meinen liebsten Begleiter und Kuschelkumpel (Bob - Die weibliche Katze). Bob war in den schwierigen und in den guten Zeiten immer f r mich da. Ob gut oder schlecht, sie schnurrt stets und reibt ihr Gesicht in meins. Auf die Liebe der Tiere kann man sich verlassen. Das Leben sollte immer wertgesch tzt werden. Manchmal war ich dabei aufzugeben und habe Dinge wie "Ich glaube ich kann das nicht" oder "Ich glaube nicht, dass es das wert ist" gesagt. Oft wusste ich nicht welche Unterst tzung erreichbar war, da ich mich nicht mitgeteilt habe und nach ihr fragte. Als ich meine Gef hle nachvollziehen konnte und mir bewusst wurde, wie sie andere ber hren k nnen, war ich der Lage etwas Besonderes zu bieten.
