”A terrific portrait of Delhi right now.” (Salman Rushdie). ” An astonishing tour de force by a major writer at the peak of his powers.” (William Dalrymple). When Rana Dasgupta arrived in Delhi at the turn of the twenty-first century, he had no intention of staying for long, but the city beguiled him
- he `fell in love & in hate with it`
- & fifteen years later, Delhi is still his home. Over these fifteen years, he has watched as the tumult of destruction & creation which accompanies India`s economic boom transformed the face of the city. In Capital, he explores the life-changing consequences for Delhi`s people, meeting with billionaires & bureaucrats, drug dealers & metal traders, slum dwellers & psychoanalysts. These encounters, interwoven with over a century of history, plunge us into Delhi`s intoxicating, sometimes terrifying, story of capitalist transformation
- one that has repercussions not only for India, but for everybody`s future.
