About This Item
New York. 2007. January 2007. Harper Collins. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780061130359. 916 pages. hardcover. Cover art by Crush Design & Art Direction. keywords: Literature India. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Set in present-day Mumbai, SACRED GAMES tells the story of a notorious Hindu gangster and a police inspector whose lives unfold and eventually intersect with cataclysmic consequences. Reaching back in time to Partition and bringing to vivid life a profusion of characters and milieus, Chandra's extraordinary work depicts India with an unsurpassed richness of detail: its complexity and violence, the worlds of the poor and the wealthy, the heroes of Bollywood movies and the striving of human beings from every walk of life. As the story unfolds with surprising twists at every turn, the great game takes shape, confounding everyone's expectations. Winning is an illusion, and characters powerful and humble find themselves mere pawns, struggling to regain control of their destinies. Quintessentially Indian yet surprisingly universal, Chandra's book evokes brilliantly and with devastating realism the way we live now. A gripping epic saga, SACRED GAMES is filled with humour, tragedy and characters who prove to be all too human. inventory #7518 ISBN: 9780061130359.
