“Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature ‘AN AREA OF DARKNESS ‘Brilliant … tender, lyrical, explosive’ Observer V.S. Naipaul was twenty-nine when he first visited India. This is his semi-autobiographical account―at once painful and hilarious, but always thoughtful and considered―a revelation both of the country and of himself. INDIA: A WOUNDED CIVILIZATION ‘A devastating work, but proof that a novelist of Naipaul’s stature can often define problems quicker and more effectively than a team of economists and other experts’ The Times Prompted by the Emergency of 1975, Naipaul casts a more analytical eye, convinced that India, wounded by a thousand years of foreign rule, has not yet found an ideology of regeneration. INDIA: A MILLION MUTINIES NOW ‘Indispensable for anyone who wants seriously to come to grips with the experience of India’ New York Times Book Review It is twenty-six years since Naipaul’s first trip to India. Taking an anti-clockwise journey around the metropolises―including Bombay, Madras, Calcutta and Delhi―he focuses on the country’s development since Independence. The author recedes, allowing Indians to tell the stories, and a dynamic oral history of the country emerges. “

About Author
V. S. Naipaul was born in Trinidad in 1932. He came to England on a scholarship in 195. He spent four years at University College, Oxford, and began to write, in London, in 1954. He pursued no other profession. His novels include A House for Mr Biswas, The Mimic Men, Guerrillas, A Bend in the River, and The Enigma of Arrival. In 1971 he was awarded the Booker Prize for In a Free State. His works of nonfiction, equally acclaimed, include Among the Believers, Beyond Belief, The Masque of Africa, and a trio of books about India: An Area of Darkness, India: A Wounded Civilization and India: A Million Mutinies Now. In 199, V. S. Naipaul received a knighthood for services to literature; in 1993, he was the first recipient of the David Cohen British Literature Prize. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 21. He lived with his wife Nadira and cat Augustus in Wiltshire, and died in 218.
