India by Vs Naipaul

India by Vs Naipaul

India is the collection of three classic books by V. S. Naipaul, introduced by fellow traveller and writer Paul Theroux.

His narrative skill is spectacularOne returns with pleasure to the slow hand-in-hand revelations of both India and himself -- The Times on An Area of Darkness
With this book he may well have written his own enduring monument, in prose at once stirring and intensely personal, distinguished both by style and critical acumen -- Financial Times on A Million Mutinies Now
Brilliantly enjoyable . . . Everybody should read him -- Sunday Telegraph on A Million Mutinies Now
It is a long and angry stare at the obvious; it is humbling . . . because it seems chasteningly right. - New Statesman -- New Statesman on A Wounded Civilization
A devastating work, but proof that a novelist of Naipaul’s stature can often define problems quicker and more effectively than a team of economists and other experts -- The Times on A Wounded Civilization
Brilliant -- Spectator on A Wounded Civilization

V. S. Naipaul was born in Trinidad in 1932. He came to England on a scholarship in 1950. He spent four years at University College, Oxford, and began to write, in London, in 1954.

His novels include A House for Mr Biswas, The Mimic Men, Guerrillas, A Bend in the River, and The Enigma of Arrival. In 1971 he was awarded the Booker Prize for In a Free State. His works of nonfiction, equally acclaimed, include Among the Believers, Beyond Belief, The Masque of Africa, and a trio of books about India: An Area of Darkness, India: A Wounded Civilization and India: A Million Mutinies Now.

In 1990, V. S. Naipaul received a knighthood for services to literature; in 1993, he was the first recipient of the David Cohen British Literature Prize. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2001. He lived with his wife Nadira and cat Augustus in Wiltshire, and died in 2018.
