I think Calibre has them, but sorry I don't remember their numbers. They were
on tape at Calibre some years ago.

Hello!
I would like to recommend the inimitable Eric Newby's "Slowly down the Ganges."
It's just marvellous! It is factual, but reminds one of Gulliver's Travels, at
least in part.
Cheers!
Lal.

Subject: [calibrebooks] my verdict on A Passge to India
Calibre number 9500
I have now finished this book. It was well worth reading.
Written in the 1930s, it is about the British in India, and how they and the
Indians react to each other, and how they behave.
The British Raj does not come out of it very well! The one or two folk who try
to treat the Indians as equals are despised my most people on both sides. What
the book clearly shows is that all people need to understand racial differences
in temperament, culture and understanding. Most of the characters, both
British and Indian, fall down badly as they judge others by their own standards
and do not recognise the differences in culture.
This is in places a deeply uncomfortable book, and also a prophetic one. It
was written before WW2 and Indian independence. But well worth reading.
Liz
