5.00 5

Suketu Mehta odkrywa przed nami Bombaj - swoje rodzinne miasto, do którego sam pragnie wrócić, by na nowo podjąć przerwane dorastanie. Od slamsów, nocnych barów, dzielnic czerwonych latarni, przez luksusowe apartamenty gwiazd Bollywood i gabinety polityków, po sale medytacyjne dźinijskich mnichów - kreśli poruszające portrety rzeczywistych bohaterów, których życie toczy się w ekstremum ludzkiego doświadczenia. Porywająca podróż w głąb tętniącej życiem metropolii będąca metaforą współczesnego człowieka i jego życia w tłumie. Zdobywca Nagrody Kiriyama; finalista Nagrody Pulitzera; Książka Roku wg "The Economist".
