In an Antique Land by Amitav Ghosh

In an Antique Land by Amitav Ghosh

In a Cairo synagogue's discarded papers, Amitav Ghosh found a passing mention of an Indian slave who belonged to a Jewish merchant in the twelfth century. He spent years chasing the man.

The search takes him to an Egyptian village where he lives as an anthropologist, and the book braids two stories — a medieval Indian Ocean world of traders who crossed religions easily, and a modern one that no longer can.

History, memoir and travel writing at once. One of the finest books by the author of The Shadow Lines.
