CITY OF DJINNS - WILLIAM DALRYMPLE KARTONIERT (TB)

Alive with the mayhem of the present and sparkling with William Dalrymple¿s irrepressible wit 
'City of Djinns' is a fascinating portrait of a city. Watched over and protected by the
mischievous  invisible djinns  Delhi has  through their good offices  been saved from
destruction many times over the centuries. With an extraordinary array of characters  from
elusive eunuchs to the last remnants of the Raj  Dalrymple¿s second book is a unique and
dazzling feat of research. Over the course of a year he comes to know the bewildering city
intimately  and brilliantly conveys its magical nature  peeling back successive layers of
history  and interlacing innumerable stories from Delhi¿s past and present.
