{"product_id":"delhi-unknown-tales-of-a-city","title":"Delhi: Unknown tales of a city","description":"\u003cp\u003eRonald Vivian Smith is an author of personal experiences - a rare breed to find in a time when even journalists hesitate to put pen to paper without scanning through the internet. A definitive voice when it comes to some known and unknown tales and an inspiration to a new generation of city-scribes, Smith is a master-chronicler of Delhis myriad realities.Among the capitals most ardent lovers, Smith believes in the power of observation and interaction. His travels across Delhi, most often in a DTC bus, examine the big and small curiosities - seamlessly juxtaposing the past with the present. Be it the pride he encounters in the hutments of one of Chandni Chowks age-old beggar families, or his ambling walks around Delhis now-dilapidated cemeteries, Smith paints with his words a city full of magic and history. This anthology features short essays on the Indian sultanate, its fall after the British Raj, and its resurrection to become what it is today - the National Capital Territory of Delhi.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roli Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45873391599814,"sku":"DADAX9351941256","price":6.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/817l_MhS3dL.jpg?v=1779542202","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/delhi-unknown-tales-of-a-city","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
