About this book

In An Antique Land by Ghosh, Amitav. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780394583686.

In 1980, Ghosh journeyed to a remote corner of Egypt looking for clues to the life of a 12th-century Indian slave whose story he had stumbled upon in letters written to the slaves master. Ghoshs work is a brilliant hybrid of history, cultural investigation, and travelogue--a vivid idea of the slaves life and an intimate portrait of the world that both the slave and the author came to inhabit.
