Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

This book is a walk through a neighbourhood of the city we call Bombay or Mumbai. The 'native town' of colonial Bombay was witness to love, hate, literature and opium in the nineteenth century! It was a neighbourhood that grew with migrations into the city, accomodating people and their Gods, ideas and temples, and collecting stories on its way. Its architecture, often denied historical status, except for famished conservation rhetoric very lately, is a cultural archive. This neighbourhood defines the city, while also carving its own niche in the fabric we call 'city'.
