Sinossi
Il mio cuore sedizioso raccoglie vent’anni dell’opera di Arundhati Roy, un lungo periodo in cui la scrittrice ha scelto l’inchiesta, il saggio politico, la testimonianza personale, il resoconto narrativo, come mezzi per condurre le sue battaglie per la giustizia, i diritti e la libertà in un contesto che diventava sempre più ostile. Nell’insieme, il volume traccia una parabola che comincia dalla vittoria del Booker Prize con Il dio delle piccole cose per finire con l’ultimo romanzo, Il ministero della suprema felicità: un percorso di vita e di scrittura nel segno della compassione, della solidarietà e del coraggio.
Incisiva e diretta, la voce dell’autrice si è sempre levata in difesa della collettività, dei popoli e delle loro terre, a dispetto della logica distruttiva delle potenti corporazioni finanziarie, sociali, religiose, militari e politiche.
In costante dialogo con i temi e le ambientazioni dei suoi romanzi, dei quali hanno il fascino e la ricchezza espressiva, questi scritti documentano il viaggio di Arundhati Roy in India e nel mondo, a partire da La fine delle illusioni, che apre la raccolta, per arrivare a Il mio cuore sedizioso, che la conclude.

Oh, to date this is my best book gift and also one of the right kinds that I would actually choose to read! My heart literally leapt for joy at the sight of it 🤗 Somewhere down the line it reminds me of Coldplay's "Trouble in Town" music video featuring Orwell's "Animal Farm" .

Arundhati Roy - the writer with guts. This collected nonfiction written between the time period of publication of her two fictions reflects her intellectual and personal growth as a writer and a concerned citizen. On the other hand, this book depicts the transformation of India (the world too) from
Should a book on politics of a country, by a writer who is renowned for her craft, be a balanced, non-judgemental, factual piece instead of it being an opinion piece imbued with all the emotions the author feels? *Shrugs* For better or for worse, this IS a collection of her speeches and essays over a Leggi tutto

To contain them, governments are tightening their control. Protesters are being labelled ‘terrorists’ and the Leggi tutto
I haven't read all the essays yet. I plan to finish reading them over a longer course of time. I love how Arundhati Roy writes, but these five stars are not only about the writing.

A must read for every Indian, who is still an Indian and has not fallen in trap of being a political party loyalist or a leader-worshipper... A must read for every human being who is still human in these times of bigotry... 'My Seditious Heart' is a reminder to introspect every time you find yoursel Leggi tutto
