Sobre este artículo

New York: Knopf, 1987. First edition. Uncorrected proof of the U.S. edition. Single volume (5.25" x 8.25"). 352 pp. In light grey plain printed wraps. Spine toned, slight wear to corners and extremities. Near fine.

A largely autobiographical book and one of Naipaul's most important. Naipaul won the Booker Prize (1971) and the Nobel Prize in Literature (2001).

Sinopsis

An autobiography for the most part, the book is composed of five sections reflecting the growing familiarity and changing perceptions of Naipaul upon his arrival in various countries.  The majority of the action takes place in Wiltshire, England, where Naipaul has rented a cottage in the countryside. He sees the area around his cottage as a frozen piece of history, unchanged for hundreds of years. However, during his extended stay at this cottage where he is working on another novel, he notices the area for what it is: a forever changing place with ordinary people simply existing away from the rest of the world. This causes the author to reflect upon the nature of perceiving our surroundings and how much these perceptions are affected by our preconceptions.   He reflects on his own emigration from Trinidad to New York City, and his following removal to England and Oxford. Naipaul’s novel illustrates the growing understanding of his place in this new environment and the complicated relations of the people and land around them.
