Delhi: Adventures in a Megacity

Sam Miller

An extraordinary portrait of one of the world’s largest cities and India’s baffling, bustling capital.

In an extraordinary portrayal of one of the world’s fastest growing cities, Sam Miller sets out to discover the real Delhi. Following a spiral course through the city, he visits its less celebrated destinations; the unexpected, the ignored and the eccentric.

Through his encounters with Delhi’s people - from a professor of astrophysics to a crematorium attendant, from ragpickers to members of the Police Brass Band - Miller creates a richly entertaining portrait of what this megacity means to its residents. The modern Delhi he depicts, in all its humour and humanity, is one whose future concerns us all.
