À propos de cet audio
Varsha Gupta wants fish for lunch. Her family is shocked; the three-year-old has never tasted fish in her life. The Guptas are strict vegetarians and don’t allow it inside their Calcutta mansion. But Varsha claims she can remember another life, in a mud house by a river where she caught and cooked fish with a different mother.
Perplexed, the Guptas turn to Dr. Shoma Bose, a psychologist who has been investigating what are known as "cases of the reincarnation type" for years. But her understanding of the world is changed forever by Varsha's revelations.
Half a century later, Varsha's case file catches the attention of a group of environmental activists, and Shoma's nephew Dinu is drawn inexorably into their plans. As Dinu finds himself caught up in the search for Varsha, buried memories of his own past begin to surface.
Traveling between late 1960s Calcutta and present-day Brooklyn, Amitav Ghosh's Ghost-Eye is an urgent and expansive novel from one of our greatest living storytellers, about family, fate, and our fragile planet.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"This shape-shifting, time-stitching novel grants us special kinds of double-vision: across eras and between species. Under its spell, Amitav Ghosh helps us begin to live multiple lives—to become aware of the porosity and mystery of being, rather than of its fortifications and frontiers."
—Robert Macfarlane, author of Is a River Alive?
"Metempsychosis, reincarnation—Amitav Ghosh's Ghost-Eye challenges you to believe, and on the way engages you with a gripping story of youth and self-knowledge."
—Abdulrazak Gurnah, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of Theft and Afterlives
"Ghost-Eye is a marvel that will ignite a reader's sense of wonder—a masterful novel, at once simple and capacious. Ghosh is one of our finest writers. I wish the Academy would award him his Nobel already."
—Rabih Alameddine, National Book Award–winning author of The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and His Mother)
"Amitav Ghosh's intellectual panache and serene mastery of form make him one of the last great practitioners of the novel of ideas. Ghost-Eye is the most captivating expression yet of an imagination unfettered by the protocols of the liberal-humanist novel: a novel that explores the very real, if still oddly underexplored, world of the spirit that hundreds of millions of people inhabit simultaneously with its material counterpart."
—Pankaj Mishra, author of The World After Gaza and Run and Hide
"Amitav Ghosh has done more than any novelist to reimagine the role of fiction in our age of environmental emergency. In Ghost-Eye, he draws the reader from the world we know into a shadow realm of reincarnation and levitation, of talking trees and whispering spirits. Mournful and exhilarating, Ghost-Eye insists that, as its narrator says, 'In order to save the world, we have to remind ourselves of the old ways.'"
—Nathaniel Rich, author of Cloudthief and Losing Earth
"Ghost-Eye is a brilliant return to Ghosh’s speculative vein, haunting and liberating as it confronts hierarchies ancient and modern.”
—Siddhartha Deb, author of The Light at the End of the World and Twilight Prisoners
"Ghost-Eye is a well-executed story by one of the greatest novelists of our time. I was most excited to read it."
—Nuruddin Farah, author of North of Dawn
