About This Novel

The first part of the "India Trilogy", the masterpiece by Nobel Prize winner V. S. Naipaul: India belongs to memory, a world that has died. "The most undisputed winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in the 21st century" V. S. Naipaul's classic masterpiece, the first part of the "Indian Trilogy". Naipaul returned to India, his native country, as a foreigner, but was shocked to find that this dark country only belonged to memory and belonged to a dead world. Naipaul landed from Bombay, passed through Delhi, Calcutta, and Kashmir, and finally came to his grandfather's hometown. This foreigner and passer-by with an ambiguous identity saw poverty and ugliness everywhere, and felt shock, anger, and loss. In Naipaul's consistent laughter, curses and aloofness, the chaos displayed in this dark country in the post-colonial situation makes people feel so helpless and desperate!
