A New York Times Notable Book: A policeman chases a falsely accused man on a wild journey around the world in this "utterly involving" novel (The Sunday Times).
When eight-year-old Nachiketa Bose first arrives in the East Bengali village of Lalpukur, he receives the name Aluâ??potatoâ??for the size and shape of his extraordinary head. His uncle Balaram, the local schoolmaster and phrenology enthusiast, sends Alu to apprentice as a weaver, and the boy soon surpasses the skill of his master. But when a tragic bombing leaves Alu suspected of terrorism, he flees across India to Bombay and the Arabian Sea, followed all the way by the dogged policemanâ??and avid ornithologistâ??Jyoti Das.

From East Bengal to the Persian Gulf and North Africa, Amitav Ghosh's wild and extraordinary novel "follows in the footsteps of magical realists like Gabriel García Márquez and Salman Rushdie" (The New York Times Book Review).

"A novelist of dazzling ingenuity." â??San Francisco Chronicle

"A Scheherezade effortlessly spinning tales within tales, the possessor of a strong narrative voice quite like no other." â??Newsday

"Ghosh's writing soars, producing electric images." â??The Baltimore Sun

"A wonderful mix of magic and horror, wit and curiosity . . . Ghosh has really woven a fresh world for us to visit." â??Provid

I don't have the issue that bother some with this book, the way characters disappear. But I've been to see Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond the Pines and it turned out I could pack up and go home about 20 minutes in. One of those life experiences that hardens you.

A young policeman, whose preference is painting birds, and who is in the police because it was the first civil service position for which he qualified, keeps changing the lives of odd but good people without having any interest in doing so. I want to call him corrupt in that he has a job he doesn't care about and he treats it in a way you can't treat that sort of job. He should care. But in fact he does what he is told, toes the line, hopes to get up the ranks, hopes mainly that he can spend as much time as possible with birds. And so. First he is responsible for the incineration of a group of crazy good people. One escapes and in chasing him down, he is responsible for a brutal police attack on another equally odd group which is doing nothing more than going shopping.

> Par Flora (EdiLivre.com) : Les Feux du Bengale d'Amitav Ghosh
23 avr. 2017 ... Prix Médicis étranger en 1990, Les Feux du Bengale est un roman à la fois hilarant et déroutant. L'auteur nous présente une panoplie de personnages drôles et attachants. On pourrait facilement se croire dans un conte des Mille et une nuits. On voyage à travers des pays imaginaires et fabuleux sans s'ennuyer une seule seconde. Amitav Ghosh est un conteur qui flirte avec le surréalisme, et l'on s'amuse beaucoup dans ce roman délicieux.
