Chowringhee Zusammenfassung

Chowringhee Mani Sankar Mukherji

WINNER OF THE VODAFONE CROSSWORD BOOK AWARD, 2007
SHORTLISTED FOR INDEPENDENT FOREIGN FICTION PRIZE, 2010

'A terrific page-turner... An utter treat... Chowringhee might, to many eyes, supply more unashamed reader-transporting enjoyment than any other fiction of the year.' -- Boyd Tonkin, Independent

Welcome to the Shahjahan, one of Calcutta's oldest and most venerable hotels. Meet its newest receptionist and hear of the people who spend their days and nights behind the Shahjahan's grand facade, a world where greed, seduction and death coexist with love, luxury and pride. Chowringhee reveals an irresistible vision of a lost - and loved - metropolis, an homage to an old India of myth and memory.

'Chowringhee is one of those novels you don't want to end. It teems with life, creating an entirely absorbing world.' -- Vikas Swarup, author of Slumdog Millionaire

Chowringhee Bewertungen

'A terrific page-turner... An utter treat... Chowringhee might, to many eyes, supply more unashamed reader-transporting enjoyment than any other fiction of the year.' Boyd Tonkin, Independent 'I lost myself in it for days... A wonderful experience - both gripping and moving.' Vikram Seth 'Chowringhee is one of those novels you don't want to end. It teems with life, creating an entirely absorbing world.' Vikas Swarup, author of Slumdog Millionaire 'A panoramic and utterly captivating picture of a workplace, a city and an era - This old-fashioned feast of storytelling crawls with character, heaves with drama and bursts with flavour - A sumptuous buffet of a book.' Boyd Tonkin, Independent 'Chowringhee has that essential quality of a good novel: the capacity to escape, and help the reader escape, time. You want to turn the pages, but you do not want the pages to end. The words are fresh, and the world of the novel is completely alive, despite being written over 40 years ago... A lovely, charming book brimming with life and full of the unexpectedness of a closely observed world.' Book of the Week, Guardian
