Beautifully evoking the sights and sounds, rituals and routines of town and countryside, Nirad Chaudhuri's memoir begins with his childhood in turn-of-the-century Bengal. He then leads the reader through the labyrinth of Calcutta, charting the course of a political and moral education that leaves him a stranger in his own land.
