Eloquent narrative of 2 month's travel in 1987 at the height of the monsoon. From the dust jacket: "Frater followed the Indian monsoon. along its unpredictable course through the country: from the 'burst' on the beaches of the tropical city of Trivandrum [through Delhi to Calcutta, across Bangladesh, and finally to the town of Cheerapunji]. With great insight and wit, Frater vividly renders his own experience of the monsoon, deftly weaving together fact, impression and anecdote. Alexander Frater -- chief travel writer for the LONDON OBSERVER -- spent the first six years of his life on a South Pacific island where rain seemed to have 'metallic weight and mass' and hurricanes gave seasonal 'bravura climactic performances.' His father -- the only doctor in a thousand square miles of scattered islands -- had a proprietary interest in the weather and taught Frater to understand and utterly enjoy the volatile play of the elements.". First American Edition (so stated). Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. 273pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394583108. 273 pages. hardcover. keywords: Travel Monsoon India. DESCRIPTION - Each year, on the first of June, the summer monsoon arrives over Trivandrum at the southernmost tip of India. Its majestic progress north towards the Himalayas, marked by celebrations, processions, festivals and a lot of released personal emotion, brings it ultimately to the old British hill station of Cherrapunji, listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the wettest place on Earth. In 1987 Alexander Frater determined to follow the monsoon all the way up the subcontinent. This book is a record of his journey, and his growing awareness of the monsoon's towering influence on every aspect of Indian life. While awaiting the burst in Trivandrum he investigated the local monsoon cures, in Goa he joined rich socialites for one of their famously wild monsoon parties, at drought-stricken Deeg in Rajasthan he gained access to an astonishing monsoon pavilion where 3,000 coloured fountains gave the illusion of bountiful monsoon rain. When he reached Delhi, visited during Parliament's Monsoon Session, he found officials curiously reluctant to let him into Cherrapunji - and finally, having got there as an illegal immigrant and found a graveyard full of British suicides, he discovered why. inventory #15356.
