Naipaul produced this concise masterpiece of journalism and cultural analysis, a vibrant, defiantly unsentimental portrait of a society traumatized by repeated foreign invasions and immured in a mythic vision of its past. Drawing on novels, news reports, and political memoirs -- but most of all on his conversations with ordinary Indians, from princes to engineers to feudal village autocrats -- Naipaul captures Indias manifold complexities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986635255861,"sku":"ByrdShop_0233969365","price":93.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780233969367_2626b2c2-6dac-425e-ae89-4259793bf52e.jpg?v=1778815876","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/india-a-wounded-civilization-9780233969367","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
