Indian Trilogy, V.S Naipaul, Deutsch / Heinemann, 1964 - 1990, First Editions, First Impressions A set of three volumes detailing the author's travels to India and containing his wonderful insights on the major changes experienced by this vast country over the period of three decades, from his first trip in the early sixties as detailed in An Area of Darkness 1964), to his second visit to the country prompted by the Emergency of 1975 as relayed in India: A Wounded Civilisation (1977) through to his final visit in India: A Million Mutinies Now (1990). Both travelogue and historical summary Naipaul is at his best in capturing the essence of India's transition during the first half century of independence. An Area Of Darkness - First Edition, First Impression in very good condition. The binding is straight and tight, the boards clean and the lettering bright.
