London: Penguin Books, 1979. 9th printing ed.. Paperback, very good condition, spine faintly faded, corner tips covers little creased, small tear top spine, pages lightly toned, minor edgewear. 176 pp. In 1964, the Trinadad-born author V. S. Naipaul published his semi-autobiographical account of a year spent living in India. Two visits later he wrote the current followup in which he recapitulates the feelings that the vast, mysterious and agonized continent aroused in him. His conviction is that India, wounded by a thousand years of foreign rule, has still not found an ideology of regeneration. Arguably he defines the problems better than a team of economists and other experts from the World Bank.
