Opis

'Delhi' is an extraordinary portrait of one of the world's largest cities. Sam Miller sets out to discover the real Delhi, a city he describes as being India's dreamtown and its purgatory. He treads the city streets, making his way through Delhi and its suburbs, visiting its less celebrated destinations.

Recenzje

"A wild, spiralling wonder of a book... the sharpest reflection of the capital since William Dalrymple's City of Djinns... Read this book and laugh, grow and gaze in gob-smacked wonder at India's whirling dreamtown" Rory Maclean Guardian
