À propos de cet audio
First published in 1980, Journey to Nowhere: A New World Tragedy is Shiva Naipaul’s deeply unsettling investigation into the forces that led to the Jonestown massacre—and the broader unraveling of faith, politics, and idealism in the decades that followed the 1960s.
What begins as an inquiry into Jim Jones and the People’s Temple becomes something far larger: a sweeping exploration of spiritual hunger, radical politics, and the collapse of utopian dreams stretching from California to the Caribbean. Naipaul writes with clarity, skepticism, and a moral intensity that feels startlingly contemporary.
In his lifetime, Shiva was often overshadowed by his brother, V.S. Naipaul. His early death at forty cut short a remarkable voice—one unafraid to question, to provoke, and to look unflinchingly at the human need for belief. Journey to Nowhere stands as both a true-crime narrative and a cultural autopsy, a haunting reminder of how easily idealism can curdle into catastrophe.
“One of the most talented and wide-ranging authors of his generation.” —The New York Times
“A brilliant achievement.” —The Sunday Times (1980)
