Klappentext In an extraordinary portrayal of one of the world's fastest growing cities Sam Miller sets out to discover the real Delhi. Following a spiral course through the city he visits its less celebrated destinations; the unexpected the ignored and the eccentric. Through his encounters with Delhi's people - from a professor of astrophysics to a crematorium attendant from ragpickers to members of the Police Brass Band - Miller creates a richly entertaining portrait of what this megacity means to its residents. The modern Delhi he depicts in all its humour and humanity is one whose future concerns us all.
