Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The great C L R James once asked: 'What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?' For some of us answering that can keep you awake at night. Soumya Bhattacharya knows this: he has a steady job, a loving wife, a daughter he dotes on. But most of all he has cricket. Or perhaps more accurately: cricket has him. Ever since he can remember, he's loved the game. From his first knockabouts on the living-room carpet - with his mother's paper bats and balls - he progressed to Test Match Special on short-wave, then to the whole panoply of obsession: one-dayers, Test matches, TV highlights, re-runs of TV highlights, always following one team - India. When you come from a country where the game is more than a religion, you must like cricket, right? In this sparkling memoir of a lifetime spent in the company of eleven men, a green field and a billion other worshippers, Soumya Bhattacharya gives us a guided tour of the soul of a cricket obsessive. Part reportage, part travelogue, part cultural politics, You Must Like Cricket? takes us from his home in Kolkata to Lord's and back again as Bhattacharya explores the joys and the lows (mostly the lows) of a thirty-year love affair, how one game has become so closely tied to a nation's identity, and the troubling hold cricket has over him. But if your home ground was called Eden Gardens, where else would you rather be? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. A child cares for a family of pigeons nesting in his balcony; is his parents' relationship as diseased as the illness ravaging the baby pigeons? A man mulls over desire engendered by love and that which springs from mere lust. A couple confesses to the reader the reasons for the widening chasm between them. An intricate mesh of relationships and lives, Thirteen Kinds of Love follows the fortunes of several families living and working in an apartment block in Mumbai. This is a book about loving and losing, about trying to redeem oneself, about attempts to remake and refashion what has been torn asunder. Soumya Bhattacharya draws the reader into the narrative using his deeply evocative, distinctive prose. This is an astute exploration of how we live and love today.…

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Indian cricket has the most exciting young batting line-up in the world today. Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane, led by their captain, M. S. Dhoni, have routinely destroyed international bowling attacks. While the young bowlers in the team lack the burgeoning reputation of the batters, they have shone in flashes at home and abroad. The current and future brilliance of the members of this team is all the more remarkable when you consider their youth, relative inexperience and the fact that they are following in the footsteps of the golden generation-arguably the set of finest cricketers this country has produced: Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, V.V.S. Laxman and Anil Kumble. This book takes as its point of departure 14 November 2013, the date on which the last member of the golden generation-Sachin Tendulkar-retired from all forms of cricket. It covers the highlights of Tendulkar's last Test, as also the careers of the Fab Five before delving deep into the stories and exploits of the new stars of Indian cricket, as well as the one man who straddles both generations-Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the finest finisher in one day cricket today, and, statistically speaking, the most successful Indian captain of all time. The first major account of the future of Indian cricket, After Tendulkar is written with a novelist's vision and eloquence and will be enjoyed by all those who love memorable writing about the game.…
