The Hungry Tide

Sobre el libro The Hungry Tide de Amitav Ghosh publicado por Collins al 2004:

Between the sea and the plains of Bengal, on the easternmost coast of India, lies an immense archipelago of islands. These are the Sundarbans. Here there are no borders to divide fresh water from salt, river from sea, even land from water. Here, for hundreds of years, only the truly dispossessed braved the man-eating tigers and the crocodiles who rule there, to eke a precarious existence from the mud. Here, at the beginning of the last century, a visionary Scotsman founded a utopian settlement where peoples of all races, classes and religions could live together.
