Sinopsis: Nine Lives: In Search of the Sacred in Modern India

Críticas: 'Nine Lives takes the charm and natural verve of City of Djinns, marries it to the intellectual and spiritual engagement of From the Holy Mountain, and brings it off with all the narrative skill developed in his history books, combined with his ever more profound understanding of India.' Maya Jasanoff, author of Edge of Empire Praise for White Mughals: 'No brief review can do justice to its manifold excellence ... This is quite simply a stunning achievement' - Frank McLynn, Independent on Sunday 'William Dalrymple is that rarity: a scholar of history who can really write' - Salman Rushdie 'A gorgeous, spellbinding and important book... A tapestry of magnificent set pieces and a moving romance' - Miranda Seymour, Sunday Times
