Delhi Through The Seasons

Such a good-looking book. A visual treat. Plus Khushwant Singh's writing. A winner.

Another good one by the "dirty" old man of Delhi,Khushwant Singh. Delhi shown in its best and worst through its history.However one thing that really annoyed me which has nothing to do with the narrative is the number of typos in the kindle edition.I don't expect my e-books to be lower in quality to the paperback. But when there are typos in kindle edition it makes one feel as if it's inferior to the paperback which it shouldn't be.Each and every typo was just so annoying when it came across.

It's a book to watch. Yes, Khuswant Singh's writing is attractive indeed ; but the main asset of this book is the art by the Bengali artist. Those are so so so beautiful. And the production just like the cherry on the cake. A really collectable item.

It is the perfect book for a nature lover like me. It can also be used as a field guide on little rendezvous with nature. The size is bigger than expected, which is a good thing. The paper quality is good, almost every page is illustrated. Only the packaging wasn't good enough. I've ordered books from Amazon before and received them all in cartons while this one was wrapped only in bubble wrap which folded the corners a bit. But it's alright if you're not a sucker for perfection.

Amazing details about Delhi. Love the easy and informative read. Will make you fall in love with Delhi's green cover the nature all around

Story of Delhi, couldn’t have been told in a better way. It has the ingredients of Khushwant Singh’s recipe of spicy writing. He has spiced it up with saucy stories. He is a master story teller & this book also proved this. In a story of history, he has the capability to keep you glued till last page.

A beautiful book. Wonderfully packed by the seller. Received in sealed pack condition. Thanks to Best Buy. They bear a successful nomenclature. Please keep up the good work. Thanks to Amazon which goes beyond saying.

A perfect recommendation for history lovers. Fantastically embroidered first person stories of Delhi from its earliest times which one cannot find in any history book whatsoever. This book will definitely change the way we look at history. The most fascinating thing about this book is that it tells the stories from the point of view of ordinary people of the times who traditionally don't find mention in history!

This is a long book, which is generally very enjoyable. It's very well written, with wit, humor, sensuality and extensive historical knowledge. I tended to prefer the contemporary accounts of the narrator's adventures and his relationship with the hijra to some of the more detailed historical accounts, especially the protracted descriptions of battles. Some character voices work better than others; but they are all engrossing. The book provides a fascinating glimpse of what makes modern day Dheli such a wonderfully complex, multicultural place.

The late great khushwant Singh teaching the world how to write real English literature. Entertaining ,funny moving ,sad ,poetic you will feel a rollercoaster of emotions

Loads of information, deftly presented. Stories from all points of view. Very engaging.

Loved the history bit as it was really interesting. Mr Singh is an author who has the knowledge about history and knows his readers. Worth a read and the price.

Good one I like it........
