The Ministry of Utmost Happiness
Autor Arundhati Royen Limba Engleză Paperback – mai 2018
One of the Best Books of the Year: The Washington Post * The Boston Globe * Minneapolis Star Tribune * NPR * Newsday * The Guardian * Financial Times * The Christian Science MonitorThe Ministry of Utmost Happiness takes us on an intimate journey across the Indian subcontinent--from the cramped neighborhoods of Old Delhi and the roads of the new city to the mountains and valleys of Kashmir and beyond, where war is peace and peace is war. Braiding together the lives of a diverse cast of characters who have been broken by the world they live in and then rescued, patched together by acts of love--and by hope, here Arundhati Roy reinvents what a novel can do and can be.

Roy's second novel proves as remarkable as her first
The Ministry of Utmost Happinessconfirms Roy's status as a writer of delicate human dramas that also touch on some of the largest questions of the day. It is the novel as intimate epic.Expect to see it on every prize shortlist this year
Heartfelt, poetic, intimate, laced with ironic humour...The intensity of Roy's writing - the sheer amount she cares about these people - compels you to concentrate...This is the novel one hoped Arundhati Roy would write about India
Teems with human drama, contains a vivid cast of characters and offersan evocative, searing portrait of modern India
A beautiful and grotesque portrait of modern India and the world beyond.Take your time over it, just as the author did
Fantastic. The novel is unflinchingly critical of power, and yet she empowers her underdog characters to persevere, leaving readers with a few droplets of much-needed hope. It's heartening when writers live up to the hyperbole that surrounds them
A kaleidoscopic story about the struggle for Kashmir's independence
A sprawling, kaleidoscopic fable about love and resistance in modern India
The follow-up we've been longing for- a poetic, densely populated contemporary novel in the tradition of Dickens and Tolstoy. From its beginning,one is swept up in the story... With herexquisite and dynamic storytelling, Roy balances scenes of suffering and corruption withhumour and transcendence
Compelling, musical, cinematic...[A] genuine poignancy and depth of emotion.Her gift is for the personal: for poetic description [and an] ability to map the complicated arithmetic of love and belonging . . .The Ministry of Utmost Happinessmanages to extracthope from tragedies
A passionate political masterpiece
