Discontent and Its Civilizations: Dispatches from Lahore, New York and London
Autor Mohsin Hamiden Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 aug 2015
Unified by the author's humane, clear-headed and witty voice, the book makes a compelling case for recognizing our common humanity while relishing our diversity - both as readers and citizens; for resisting the artificial mono-identities of religion or nationality or race; and for always judging a country or nation by how it treats its minorities, as 'Each individual human being is, after all, a minority of one'.

Mohsin Hamid is reasonable, intelligent...in short, just the sort of commentator the world could do with right now
Smart doesn't begin to describe Hamid; he is the sort of thinker that could change hearts and minds
In contrast with the debased language of extremism, militarism and nationalism, his is a humane and rational voice demanding a better future
Lucid, informative and drily funny, these essays show that Hamid is one of the most perceptive commentators on contemporary global politics
One of the most talented writers of his generation
Mohsin Hamid is a master critic of the modern global condition, using humanization, wit, parody and other devices to examine how the fast pace of social and economic change has affected the individual
Elegantly crafted . . . will delight devotees of his work, and intrigue newcomers. Hamid makes a compelling case for pushing back against the mono-identities of religion, nationality and race and for embracing the things that all human beings share.
The new voice of a changing continent. A writer at the top of his game
