Mistry Rohinton Title : Un perfetto equilibrio
Author: Mistry Rohinton
Publisher: Mondadori

India 1975: Indira Gandhi ha appena decretato lo 'stato di emergenza' che condanna il paese a due anni di terrore. Mentre gli oppositori riempiono le prigioni, la popolazione affamata è oggetto di una cinica campagna di sterilizzazione. A Bombay la miseria dorme sui marciapiedi, nelle fogne a cielo aperto. In questa città dove i poveri sono alla mercé dei giochi di potere dei politici, i quattro protagonisti di questo romanzo sembrano cavarsela: hanno imparato a mantenere 'un perfetto equilibrio' tra speranza e disperazione. Ma i tempi finiranno per rivelarsi calamitosi... Rohinton Mistry, con uno straordinario talento di narratore, crea un indimenticabile scenario di umiliati e offesi in cui spiccano ritratti desolanti e divertenti al contempo. Requiem per un continente perduto, 'Un perfetto equilibrio' celebra le capacità di resistenza e di coraggio dell'animo umano e dipinge la lancinante esperienza del quotidiano infrangersi dei sogni dei protagonisti. Fino a profetizzare la fine di quel mondo di cui Kipling aveva cantato la magia, destinato ad affondare tra corruzione, violenza e fanatismo religioso.

Mistry Rohinton Title : Lezioni di nuoto
Author: Mistry Rohinton
Publisher: Racconti

Quando simboli e immagini abbondano così tanto, costellando la pagina o presentandosi uno dopo l'altro su di essa, senza insidia né artificio, si è portati a dire: com'è ovvio, com'è evidente. I simboli, dopo tutto, dovrebbero essere immobili e lievi come minuscole gocce di rugiada, e tuttavia brillare di un mondo di significati.

Mistry Rohinton Title : Family Matters
Author: Mistry Rohinton
Publisher: Vintage Books

Rohinton Mistry's enthralling novel is at once a domestic drama and an intently observed portrait of present-day Bombay in all its vitality and corruption. At the age of seventy-nine, Nariman Vakeel, already suffering from Parkinson's disease, breaks an ankle and finds himself wholly dependent on his family. His step-children, Coomy and Jal, have a spacious apartment (in the inaptly named Chateau Felicity), but are too squeamish and resentful to tend to his physical needs.

Nariman must now turn to his younger daughter, Roxana, her husband, Yezad, and their two sons, who share a small, crowded home. Their decision will test not only their material resources but, in surprising ways, all their tolerance, compassion, integrity, and faith. Sweeping and intimate, tragic and mirthful, Family Matters is a work of enormous emotional power.

Mistry Rohinton Title : A Fine Balance
Author: Mistry Rohinton
Publisher: Vintage Books

With a compassionate realism and narrative sweep that recall the work of Charles Dickens, this magnificent novel captures all the cruelty and corruption, dignity and heroism, of India. The time is 1975. The place is an unnamed city by the sea. The government has just declared a State of Emergency, in whose upheavals four strangers--a spirited widow, a young student uprooted from his idyllic hill station, and two tailors who have fled the caste violence of their native village--will be thrust together, forced to share one cramped apartment and an uncertain future.

As the characters move from distrust to friendship and from friendship to love, A Fine Balance creates an enduring panorama of the human spirit in an inhuman state.

Author: Mistry Rohinton
Publisher: Vintage Books

Firozsha Baag is an apartment building in Bombay. Its ceilings need plastering and some of the toilets leak appallingly, but its residents are far from desperate, though sometimes contentious and unforgiving. In these witty, poignant stories, Mistry charts the intersecting lives of Firozsha Baag, yielding a delightful collective portrait of a middle-class Indian community poised between the old ways and the new.

'A fine collection...the volume is informed by a tone of gentle compassion for seemingly insignificant lives.'--Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
