Overview

Un retrato de Bombay feroz, detallista, visceral e inteligente. Una lectura que es como embarcarse en un viaje en el que se conoce a fondo la ciudad de la India, sus habitantes y su historia.

Ciudad total lleva a cabo uno de los retratos de la ciudad de Bombay más fabulosos y ambiciosos que se han escrito hasta la fecha. Un retrato que, además de dar cuenta de la vida de una ciudad, narra la historia de un país, así como su discurrir político y social.

Suketu Mehta nació en Bombay y por tanto nos ofrece la visión de un nativo, es decir, una visión cercana y real que aporta a su relato un nivel inusual de introspección, detalle e intimismo. Se acerca a la ciudad desde ángulos insospechados. Nos lleva al mundo criminal, donde se enfrentan gánsteres musulmanes e hindúes, ambos grupos interesados en controlar la ciudad. Nos muestra las nuevas fuerzas que están haciendo prosperar a la India, como, por ejemplo, el imperio cinematográfico de Bollywood. Y, entre muchos otros ejemplos, nos revela las vidas de gentes de provincias que han visto desfallecer sus sueños de prosperar en la ciudad.

Ciudad total fue finalista del premio Pulitzer en 2005
. Su mérito se construye en la multitud de historias que contiene y que convierten este libro en un texto victoriano, por su mimo en los detalles, por su gran ambición y excelente resultado.

Esta novela pertenece al #FondoDeEditor de Literatura Random House


«Como el Londres de Dickens, el París de Proust o la Barcelona de Juan Marsé, Bombay es un escenario que parece inventado para el lucimiento y la capacidad de observación de Suketu Mehta, un autor que se siente a sus anchas en el caos de una ciudad tan inmensa como este libro.» -Claudio López Lamadrid

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A native of Bombay, Suketu Mehta gives us an insider’s view of this stunning metropolis. He approaches the city from unexpected angles, taking us into the criminal underworld of rival Muslim and Hindu gangs, following the life of a bar dancer raised amid poverty and abuse, opening the door into the inner sanctums of Bollywood, and delving into the stories of the countless villagers who come in search of a better life and end up living on the sidewalks.

As each individual story unfolds, Mehta also recounts his own efforts to make a home in Bombay after more than twenty years abroad. Candid, impassioned, funny, and heartrending, Maximum City is a revelation of an ancient and ever-changing world.
