Ho adorato la contestualizzazione storica in un momento ben preciso di questo romanzo. Mi annoia leggere i saggi e i romanzi dai quali riesco capire l'evoluzione degli eventi mi piacciono molto.
Qui il momento storico รจ quello degli anni 70. Quando l'attuale Bangladesh dichiara l'indipendenza dal Pakistan. Scatta la repressione e onde di profughi si riversano in India. La cosa viene contenuta per quanto possibile, la tassa per i rifugiati ritorna molto spesso nella trama del romanzo. Poi l'attacco dell'India al Pakistan e The author is at pains to stress the love of the Indian people to their homeland, who do not bat an eyelid in having to bear other costs. All this in opposition to the rampant corruption of the government and Mrs. INDIRA MOTHER.
This is the context in which it moves Gustad Noble, the protagonist. I must say that at first I was obnoxious. There always lost in his memories, in the past comforts, to cry on them for not being rich landowner. Then the events, the disappointments, the pettiness. His being a man among men, but religious easy prey for those who promise a miracle, a close friend but still with some doubts, but not the correct man with his son ... in fact one of us ..
It is a long novel, with a few notes that seemed lost in religious practices, but the language agile and delicate, a warm breath and light.
