Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Poor. No Jacket. First American Edition. A Poor former library copy of a "Classic history of the Victorian seat of the British Raj, setting for the notorious Black Hole where 2 score English settlers died in an 18th century uprising, and today the 4th largest city in the world. Kipling called it the city of dreadful night - a city of unspeakable poverty, of famine, riot and disease. Yet Calcutta, once the seat of the Raj, is the 2nd city in the commonwealth, the 4th city in the world. Geoffrey Moorhouse's history come travel book, 1st published by Wiedenfeld & Nicolson in 1971, remains the classic account." Wear to brick red boards. Sunning to spine but silver & blue lettering is still crisp. Ring stain on rear boards. Staining to boards. Library stamp in black ink on top page edgings. Tape removal marks inside both boards. Embossed library information on front flyleaves and Title page. From verso:"First American edition 1972" Spotting to front flyleaves through to Contents pages. Library cataloger notes on Dedication page in blue ink, red ink and blue ballpoint. 33 illustrations between pages 184 and 185. Spot to bottom corner of page 1. Rear flyleaf has been torn out along the spine down to the webbing, creating a hole to page 375/376. 376 pages. Contents:"Contents: Illustrations; Acknowledgments; Foreword; Ultimate experience; Imperial city; Poverty; Wealth; Migrants; Bengalis; People, People; Faded glory; The Petrifying jungle; The road to revolution; Zindabad; Bibliography; Source Notes; Index""Summary:" In the foreword to the first edition Geoffrey Moorhouse wrote: 'In a sense, the story of Calcutta is the story of India . . . It is the story of how and why Empire was created and what happened when Empire finished . . . The imperial residue of Calcutta, a generation after Empire ended, is both a monstrous and a marvellous city. Journalism and television have given us a rough idea of the monstrosities but none at all of the marvels. I can only hope to define the first more clearly and to persuade anyone interested that the second is to be found there too'. Geoffrey Moorhouse succeeds triumphantly in his aims. First published in 1971 this title has stood the test of time. Remarkably it was the first full-length study of Calcutta, seat of the British Raj, since 1918. 'The book is organized out of a profound understanding of the true issues and is brilliantly executed.'" Paul Scott, Guardian". Codice articolo 002304
