Sinossi
Nitido e scritto a macchina, il biglietto in busta sigillata infilato sotto la porta confermava l’appuntamento. Arundhati Roya spettava questa notizia da mesi, era pronta: doveva farsi trovare al tempio di Ma Danteshwari nell’orario e nel giorno stabiliti, con la macchina fotografica, il tika e una noce di cocco. In questo modo il pericoloso ribelle adivasi che avrebbe incontrato, a sua volta provvisto di cappellino, rivista hindi «Outlook» e banane, l’avrebbe riconosciuta. Ad accoglierla, però, c’era un ragazzino dall’aria tutt’altro che minacciosa,e per giunta senza giornale né banane, veloce spuntino consumato per ingannare l’attesa. Molto poco professionale per chi costituiva «la più grande minaccia per la sicurezza interna» dell’India, come sostenuto senza mezzi termini dal primo ministro Chidambaram in persona. Comincia così questa coraggiosa e sorprendente ricognizione attraverso un’India sconosciuta, il cui orizzonte fisico ed economico negli ultimi decenni è stato completamente ridisegnato dalle multinazionali. Con la connivenza del governo, le grandi aziende si sono impadronite delle terre, delle foreste, delle vite delle popolazioni locali in maniera del tutto illegittima e anticostituzionale. Ma i poveri di questi villaggi hanno deciso di fare fronte comune e di unirsi alla ribellione maoista per guidare la più grande democrazia del mondo verso un futuro alternativo al capitalismo selvaggio e all’avidità dilagante.

It is five stars even before I have touched it. I hold the small book like a sacred text. There is an element of fear - what if the writing is not as soul stirring as 'The God Of Small Things' ? I worship Arundhati Roy's writing, her madness. But this is non-fiction I remind myself. So Comrade Rahel Leggi tutto

By Arundhati Roy. Grade: A+ I have heard a lot of things about Arundhati Roy. Surprisingly, all of them very good. However, the only piece I’d read up till this novel was years ago, when I was too young to fully understand – and appreciate the language of the novel. Walking With The Comrades was a pl Leggi tutto
