Sumérgete en la fascinante historia de Bombay con 'Mumbai Fables' de Gyan Prakash. Este libro explora la vida mítica e interna de la ciudad a través de los ojos de sus habitantes, periodistas, planificadores, escritores, artistas, cineastas y activistas políticos. Desde las catástrofes recientes hasta la conquista portuguesa del siglo XVI, Prakash revela las historias detrás del viaje histórico de Bombay, examinando su desarrollo bajo el dominio británico y su transformación en un símbolo de oportunidad y reinvención.
