The First City

Malvika Singh (Ed.)


About the Book

<p>HISTORIC AND FAMED CITIES OF INDIA series...</p> <p>Edited by Malvika Singh, here’s a series of six books, which offers its readers the delight of ‘a literary walk-through’ of some of the most remarkable cities of India.<br /> Elegant writings by a host of accomplished writers capture charm and tradition on one hand, transition and paradox on the other. There is every flavour to bring up the uniqueness of the city as time has seen it emerge, as much as the mind has felt inspired to pen it down.</p>

Reviews

“This series... is a treasure trove.“The best thing about the books is how they telescope the transition— thoughtful enough to not condemn all change as for the worst, but reflective enough to be able to assess what was and what has  been lost.”
— The Indian Express
