The second cluster of perspectives contained in this book ranges from perspectives in sound to a longish meditation on Patrick Leigh Fermor's A Time of Gifts, describing his travels on the Continent as a young student. His journeys also serve as a metaphor for the variety of themes treated in the book, a journey in which the reader meets Octavio Paz, Winston Churchill, Charles Dickens, Max Müller and Charles Darwin. The author Garrison Keillor brings in cool winds from Minnesota, and Rabindranath Tagore shares his experiences in Hungary. And there is more. The author's notebooks have once again yielded much to ponder over.
Margaret Chatterjee has been exploring various genres over the years, and here she finds yet another way of sharing her wide interests. As a student in Oxford she studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics and later spent decades teaching at university level in several countries. She has done intensive research on Gandhi's life and thought and has been a prolific author of books which raise challenging issues in a highly readable form. The innovative style of her new book will not fail to delight her readers.
