Sobre este artículo
London, England: Harper Collins, 1998. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. The Age Of Kali: Indian Travels & Encounters, Dalrymple, William. Published by Harper Collins, London, 1998. First Edition, Second Printing. Blue cloth boards, silver spine titles; mapped endpapers. Unclipped dustjacket. In fine, unmarked condition. Introduction, 6 chapters, glossary and index. (Chapter 2 on Rajasthan and Chapter 6 on Parkistan). The brilliance of this book lies in its refusal to reflect any cultural pessimism. Dalrymple's love for the subcontinent, and his feel for its diverse cultural identity, comes across in every page, which makes its chronicles of political corruption, ethnic violence, and social disintegration all the more poignant. The scope of the book is particularly impressive, from the vivid opening chapters portraying the lawless caste violence of Bihar, to interviews with the drug barons on the North-West Frontier, and Dalrymple's extraordinary encounter with the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. Some of the most fascinating sections of the book are Dalrymple's interviews with Imran Khan and Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan
