ISBN: 9780415942119 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When Amitava Kumar left Patna, India, he envisioned himself as an up-and-coming citizen of the world, leaving behind the confines of Indian traditions.

"There is no beginning that is a blank page," writes Kumar. Circling the three capitals of the Indian diaspora, "Bombay-London-New York" captures the contours of the expatriate experience, touching on the themes of abandonment, nostalgia,...
