'A towering masterpiece by a writer of genius.' Independent India, 1975 . An unnamed city by the sea. The government has just declared a State of Emergency. Amidst a backdrop of wild political turmoil, the lives of four unlikely strangers collide forever. An epic panorama of modern India in all its corruption, violence, and heroism, A Fine Balance is Rohinton Mistry's prize-winning masterpiece: a Dickensian modern classic brimming with compassion, humour, and insight - and a hymn to the human spirit in an inhuman state. 'A masterpiece of illumination and grace. Like all great fiction, it transforms our understanding of life.' Guardian 'Magical.' New York Times 'Monumental.' Time ' Astonishing .' Wall Street Journal What readers are saying: 'One of the most layered and beautifully executed books I've ever read ... Easily one of my all time favourite books!' 'Many say that the mark of a good book is that it stays with you; well, I read this several years ago and I still find myself thinking of the characters ... Beautiful.' 'What a storyteller, what a wide canvas he covers of India ... Wonderful.' 'One of the best and most entertaining books I have ever read ... I can't recommend it highly enough.' 'Often heartbreaking, always evocative ... A book to savour rather than to gallop through.' 'One of the best books I've read ... Not a book for the faint-hearted, but it is a book with a big heart.', Rohinton Mistry, 19.8 cm x 13.2 cm x 5.0 cm mm, Fremdsprachige Bücher.

Neuware - In the tiny flat of the widowed Dina Dalal, Ishvar and Omprakash Darji, tailors who have been forced from their village into the city, and Maneck Kohlah, a young student from a hill-station near the Himalayas, are painfully constructing new lives which become entwined in circumstances no one could have foreseen. Set in mid-1970s India, 'A Fine Balance' is a subtle and compelling narrative about these four unlikely characters who come together soon after the government declares a 'State of Internal Emergency'. 'A Fine Balance' is a breathtaking achievement: panoramic yet humane, intensely political yet rich with local detail and, above all, compulsively readable. It is the work of a master storyteller at the height of his power. -, Taschenbuch.
