Gun Island by Amitav Ghosh

Gun Island by Amitav Ghosh

Deen Datta, a rare book dealer, becomes obsessed with a Bengali legend about a merchant cursed by a snake goddess, and his investigation into the myth's origins pulls him from the Sundarbans through Los Angeles and Venice, tracing uncanny parallels between the old legend and the contemporary crises of climate change and mass migration.

Ghosh weaves folklore, ecological catastrophe and the global migrant crisis into a single narrative, arguing implicitly that ancient stories of environmental upheaval and displacement carry genuine relevance to the present moment rather than being merely quaint historical curiosities.

A globe-spanning novel connecting Bengali folklore to climate change and migration, from the acclaimed author of The Hungry Tide.
