Описание: The Autobiography of an Unknown Indian is an astonishing work of self-discovery and the revelation of a peerless and provocative sensibility. Describing his childhood in the Bengali countryside and his youth in Calcutta--and telling the story of modern India from his own fiercely independent viewpoint--Chaudhuri fashions a book of deep conviction, charm, and intimacy that is also a masterpiece of the writer's art.

Описание: An autobiographical exploration of the role and meaning of music in our world by one of India's greatest living authors, himself a vocalist and performer.

Finding the Raga is a book that not only tries to make sense of the raga, of Indian classical music, and of how Indian music challenges post-Enlightenment Western notions of what might music might be. It is a work of self-enquiry, as might be expected from Amit Chaudhuri, a musician who is also a novelist; a novelist who is also a critic and essayist; a trained and recorded performer in the Indian classical vocal tradition who was also, once, a guitarist and songwriter in the American folk music style and is now a composer and recorded performer in experimental music. Each one of these undertakings and selves signify turns at different points in life; and each turn and change of direction brings a fresh perspective on music, writing, and what it means to take on and do these things. No category -- Indian; Western -- is a given in this book. Partly a record of one of the most important turns in the author's life, towards North Indian music, and of its long aftermath, it is part autobiography, set in 70s Bombay, part essay, and part detailed analysis of how we might grasp the conceptual underpinnings as well as the experience of Indian (as well as Western) music. It explores the different ways in which music relates to the world -- whether it's through representation or evocation, as in Western music, or through the raga being sung at different times of day and in different seasons -- and also (this is a thread running through the book) tries to understand what the act of listening involves for individuals and cultures.
