Beschreibung

<p><b>'Brims with ideas and insights . . . Ghosh is at his sparkling best' IRISH TIMES</b><br><i><br>Wild Fictions</i> brings together Amitav Ghosh's extraordinary writing on the subjects that have obsessed him over the last twenty-five years: literature and language; climate change and the environment; human lives, travel, and discoveries. The spaces that we inhabit, and the way in which we occupy them, is a constant thread throughout this striking and expansive collection.<br><br>From the significance of the commodification of the clove, the diversity of the mangrove forests in West Bengal and the radical fluidity of multilingualism, <i>Wild Fictions</i> is a powerful refutation of imperial violence, a fascinating exploration of the fictions we weave to absorb history, and a reminder of the importance of empathy. <br><br>With the combination of moral passion, intellectual curiosity and literary elegance that defines his writing, Amitav Ghosh makes us understand the world in new, and urgent, ways. Together, the pieces within <i>Wild Fictions</i> chart a course that allows us to heal our relationships and restore a delicate balance with the volatile landscapes to which we all belong.<br><br><b>'We owe a great debt to Ghosh's brilliant mind, avenging pen, and huge soul' NAOMI KLEIN, author of <i>This Changes Everything</i></b></p>
