Críticas
Praise for The Glass Palace: -- . 'Breathtaking ! Ghosh is a deeply serious writer, sure of his human and historical insights ! I cannot think of another contemporary writer with whom it would be so thrilling to go so far, so fast' -- The Times 'A splendid, exotic, panoramic saga, with fascinating detail about the period and the countries involved. Eminently readable, indeed a real page-turner' -- Publishing News 'A born storyteller ! never for a moment is the reader not propelled irresistibly forward to discover what happens next' -- Literary Review Praise for The Hungry Tide: -- . 'A marvellous novel ! an ambitious, absorbing, vivid, deeply involving story ! the narrative is full of excitement. Here is a thoughtful examination of what it means to be fully human' -- Sunday Times 'An exceptionally intricate and rich novel' -- Financial Times 'Ghosh probes the hearts of his characters and examines the nature of their identity ! the climax is a tremendous scene, but it is the haunting quality of this novel that stays in the memory' -- Sunday Telegraph
Reseña del editor
At the heart of this epic saga, set just before the Opium Wars, is an old slaving-ship, The Ibis. Its destiny is a tumultuous voyage across the Indian Ocean, its crew a motley array of sailors and stowaways, coolies and convicts. In a time of colonial upheaval, fate has thrown together a truly diverse cast of Indians and Westerners, from a bankrupt Raja to a widowed villager, from an evangelical English opium trader to a mulatto American freedman. As their old family ties are washed away they, like their historical counterparts, come to view themselves as jahaj-bhais or ship-brothers. An unlikely dynasty is born, which will span continents, races and generations. The vast sweep of this historical adventure spans the lush poppy fields of the Ganges, the rolling high seas, and the exotic backstreets of China. But it is the panorama of characters, whose diaspora encapsulates the vexed colonial history of the East itself, which makes Sea of Poppies so breathtakingly alive -- a masterpiece from one of the world's finest novelists.
