What a human book, makes English August and White Tiger and other novels of that ilk seem so shallow and cynical and brattish...
Fascinating reading - a tale of nothing of consequence, and yet sublime, wonderfully nuanced and of great depth...

..a bit on the tedious side...but it does well to invoke a time when the Indian Ocean was the world....

I loved this book; it's much better than his fiction writing, I think.

I don't think Mr. Amitav Ghosh could ever write anything more compelling, humane and beautiful...one looks through his eyes not at a different land and culture but at the fact that humans are same across..a proof of the fact that there is no race/ caste of the mind; that we are all born to live and die and we all have the same prejudices and that we are all living the myth of sisyphus..
