Kaleidoscope City Zusammenfassung

Kaleidoscope City: A Year in Varanasi Piers Moore Ede

Piers Moore Ede first fell in love with Varanasi when he passed through it on his way to Nepal. In the decade that followed, it continued to exert its pull on him and so he returned there to live - to discover what it is that makes the spiritual capital of India so unique. In this intoxicating city, where funeral pyres smoulder beside the river in which thousands of pilgrims bathe, and holiness and corruption walk side by side, Piers discovers a remarkable interplay between death and life, light and dark.

Kaleidoscope City Bewertungen

Moore Ede is highly attuned to the sensory experiences which make travel writing come alive * Giles Foden *
Affectionate and inquiring ... There's a sparkle to his account of Varanasi, which is slim but as multi-layered as the soot on the city's roofs ... Kaleidoscope City conveys wonderfully well love of life, that the author says is the most striking characteristic of the people of Varanas * Daily Telegraph *
Brims with warmth, humility and curiosity ... The rhythms of life and death by the river are vividly rendered in Moore Ede's fluid prose * Times Literary Supplement *
It takes a resident's insight to balance the city's darker side with a celebration of its luminous creativity, renowned cuisine and masti, an infectious joie de vivre peculiar to its inhabitants. Moore Ede strikes such a balance with elegance and style. ***** * The Lady *
The holy city on the banks of the Ganges River teems with life and Kaleidoscope City is Ede's attempt to get under the skin of this sprawling, contradictory place * Financial Times *
