Nine Lives, In Search of the Sacred in Modern India

Nine Lives, In Search of the Sacred in Modern India

by William Dalrymple

  • TRAVEL NARRATIVE
  • 2011
  • PAPER
  • 256 PAGES

From Sufi dervish and Buddhist monk to outcast and temple worshiper: nine people, nine lives, all captured by Dalrymple (City of Djinns) as he journeys throughout India in search of remarkable individuals transformed by religion. At turns bemusing, dazzling and heart-wrenching, this is his first travel book in 15 years and a thoughtful exploration of shifting religious traditions in an era of rapid change.  (IDA587, $16.00)
