<p><b>The third book in V. S. Naipaul’s acclaimed Indian trilogy, with a preface by the author. <i>India: A Million Mutinies Now</i> is a truly perceptive work whose insights continue to inform travellers of all generations to India. </b><br /><br />Much changed in India between V. S. Naipaul’s first trip to the land of his forebears and this final, fascinating account of his time in the country. <br /><br />Taking an anti-clockwise journey around the metropolises of India – including Bombay, Madras, Calcutta, and Delhi – Naipaul offers a kaleidoscopic, layered travelogue, encompassing a wide collage of religions, castes, and classes at a time when the percolating ideas of freedom threatened to shake loose the old ways. The brilliance of the book lies in Naipaul’s decision to approach this shifting, changing land from a variety of perspectives: the author humbly recedes, allowing the Indians to tell the stories of their own lives, and a dynamic oral history of India emerges before our eyes. <br /><br /><b>‘With this book he may well have written his own enduring monument, in prose at once stirring and intensely personal, distinguished both by style and critical acumen’ <i>Financial Times</i></b><br /><br /><b>Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature. </b></p>
