Riassunto

Ilija Trojanow travelled along the Ganges, from the source, where it breaks free from the eternal ice in the Himalayas, to the great cities, by boat, by bus, on overcrowded trains. He visited the great Hindu festivals and talked to those who warn of ecological disasters resulting from gigantic dams.

Recensione:

‘A lyrical homage to India’s holiest, moodiest, foulest river. . . Trojanow is the perfect mix of insider and outsider. A Hindi speaker,he can also stand back and see what makes India tick. . . . It is a treasure of a book, a must-have for anyone spending time on the Ganges and wanting to get to know her better.’ (Susan Elderkin Financial Times)
