Golden Goa

Description

Golden Goa recounts Grant Buday's travels in India by paralleling them with those of 16th-century Portuguese soldier and poet Luis de Camoens. Camoens, author of the Portuguese national epic The Lusiads, spent 14 years in India in the 1500s. Between 1979 and 1999 Buday visited India five times in pursuit of the story of the Portuguese. A magical, exquisite narrative, reminiscent both of the travel writing of Paul Bowles and Michael Ondaatje, this book explores the island of Diu, won by the Portuguese from the navy of Suleiman the Magnificent. Visiting Goa, Buday meets the Rodrigues family, people who inhabit a 200-year-old house full of history and rats. Throughout his journeys Buday encounters those who wish the Portuguese would come back-and those who are very glad they're gone. this comic, vivid, and moving story moves from Darjeeling in the east, to Jaisalmer in the west, to Cochin in the south. It explores Mother Teresa's Calcutta, the Dalai Lama's Dharamsala, and the Poona of Bhagwan Sri Rajneesh. Along the way, Buday is train wrecked, rat bit, badgered, and ripped off. Mostly, though, he's delighted.

Enjoy this great book! Brought to you by SMIRK
