Un giovane indiano delle tribù Bhil è riuscito a sorprendere una tigre reale che terrorizzava i villaggi nei dintorni di Bombay.

The work encompasses a vast and fascinating range of topics, including meticulous descriptions of acceptable dress codes for European males and females and an exposition on “the Manners of the Natives!” Today, the chief scholarly value of the book lies in its construction of Indian history, politics and culture from a 19th century European frame of reference”.

Solo il piatto anteriore di un vol. un po’ ammaccato, altrim. esempl. ben conservato.

Milano, 1954, stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 873/884 con fotografie, tavole fotografiche ed una cartina. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

br. Questa narrazione si muove in lungo e in largo per le strade di Bombay, e ritrae la città attraverso le mille storie dei suoi abitanti, dai più famosi (compresi gangster e attori) alla gente comune. Metha ricerca nella brutale Bombay di oggi quella che ha abbandonato vent'anni prima e la ritrova moltiplicata e smembrata. E a poco a poco mette a nudo i fili tesi tra gli attici scintillanti affacciati sull'oceano e il mare di baracche dove milioni di persone vivono una vita durissima.
