Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Originally a missionary, Verrier Elwin became one of India's greatest anthropologists. This lively, touching book draws on the diary he kept during his stay in the Maikal hill-village of Karanjia between 1932 and 1936. Writing with the ease of a born raconteur, Elwin provides a colourful picture of Gond life and depicts the efforts of an Ashram's diverse inmates (`Christians, Hindus, a Brahmin, a Mussalman, Gonds, Polytheists, henogamists, monogamists, celibates...all united') to improve the quality of education, diet, health, agriculture, and dress in the village.
