Delhi is a city like no other, one which, in spite of being as old as time, is culturally dominated by relatively new dwellers. Interspersed with accounts of meeting assorted including Sufis, eunuchs, Persian scholars and an Englishwoman who stayed behind after the Raj's hasty exit, City of Djinns seeks out the essence of this ancient town in a travelogue like no other.
Moving, profoundly insightful, and very entertaining, City of Djinns is a loving exploration by one of the great historians of our time of a city he chooses to call home.
"Sparkling with irrepressible wit, City of Djinns peels back the layers of Delhi's centuries-old history, revealing an extraordinary array of characters along the way-from eunuchs to descendants of great Moguls. With refreshingly open-minded curiosity, William Dalrymple explores the seven "dead" cities of Delhi as well as the eighth city-today's Delhi". - Goodreads
