A mesmerizing narrative, the book takes readers into the heart of a metropolis relatively resistant to the currents of globalization. Moving through the city's vibrant avenues and derelict alleyways, Chaudhuri introduces us to the homeless and the high society, describes its architecture and food, its sounds and smells, and its past and present politics. With rare candor and clarity, he combines memoir, reportage, and history to evoke all that is most particular and extraordinary about the city--and to explain his own passionate attachment to the place and its people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307454669\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 7.98 inches, Length: 5.17 inches, Weight: 0.5 pounds, Width: 0.67 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amit Chaudhuri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52919782965555,"sku":"9780307454669","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/12287063482297.jpg?v=1767526192","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/calcutta-two-years-in-the-city","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
