«La ciudad de la alegría» is the novel by Dominique Lapierre, published by RBA in hardcover (414 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Calcutta, the novel follows a French priest, an American doctor, and Hasari Pal, a peasant who emigrates with his family to the slum of Anand Nagar, the so-called City of Joy. In that environment of extreme misery, solidarity among the inhabitants becomes the core of the narrative.
This edition, translated by Carlos Pujol, belongs to RBA's Grandes Éxitos collection (no. 13). The original title, «La cité de la joie», inspired the eponymous movie by Roland Joffé.
A work for those seeking social fiction set in India and stories about solidarity in extreme conditions.
