The Solitude of Emperors

Viac o knihe

Vijay's journey from a suffocating small-town life to the vibrant chaos of 1990s Bombay unfolds as he joins a publication that critiques the intertwining of religion and politics. His experiences lead him to Rustom Sorabjee, who profoundly influences his understanding of societal issues. After being traumatized by violent riots, Vijay retreats to a serene tea town, only to find that unrest has reached even there. Through his friendship with the eccentric Noah, Vijay grapples with the consequences of his attempts to confront rising fundamentalism, exploring themes of identity, community, and the impact of faith.
