Needle at the Bottom of the Sea

Bengali Tales from the Land of the Eighteen Tides

Contenu

“Access Bengal’s secret heart through this wondrous book. Travel deep into the forest and peek beyond the delta’s edge: balancing scholarly rigor with storytelling elan, Tony Stewart’s tidal tales with their fantastic cast of boundary-crossing characters shed unexpected and much-needed light on the relationship between Bengal, Islam, and the Indian Ocean world.”—Ananya Jahanara Kabir, Infosys Prize winner and author, Partition’s Post-Amnesias: 1947, 1971, and Modern South Asia

“These subtly analyzed and beautifully translated tales represent a major accomplishment, revealing a sophisticated understanding of interreligious and intercaste relations in the register of the marvelous.”—Faisal Devji, Professor of Indian History, University of Oxford
