«An Area of Darkness» is V. S. Naipaul's travelogue, published by Penguin Books in paperback (267 pages, in English).
V. S. Naipaul travels to India, land of his ancestors, and recounts the clash between the idealized image he carried and the reality he finds. The book traverses landscapes, people and everyday situations to speak of Indian society, its contradictions and the visitor's distance; it is also a personal inquiry into identity and belonging.
First installment of V. S. Naipaul's Indian trilogy. The work was originally published in 1964 in Britain by Andre Deutsch.
For readers interested in India, travel literature and memoirs, as well as in Naipaul's Indian trilogy.
Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul was a Trinidad and Tobago-born British writer renowned for his works of fiction and nonfiction in English. He is known for his comic early novels set in Trinidad, his bleaker novels of alienation in the wider world, and his vigilant chronicles of life and travels. He wrote in prose that was widely admired, but his views sometimes aroused controversy. He published more than thirty books over fifty years.
