Naipaul V.S., In einem freien Land — 2002 (dtv. 12641)

Mit einem feinen Gespür für die unfreiwillige Komik menschlicher Schicksale erzählt der Nobelpreisträger V.S. Naipaul in fünf Geschichten von Menschen, die ihre Wurzeln verloren haben. Wie Santosh, der mit seinem Herrn aus Bombay in die USA kommt. Er, der barfuss herumläuft und am liebsten mit seinem Bettzeug auf der Straße schläft, muss nun im 25. Stock wohnen und lernen, dass eine Rupie kein Dollar ist.

Naipaul V.S., Miguel Street — 1982

A magnet to the poets, philosophers, teachers, troubadours and misfits who people the town of Port of Spain, Miguel Street is a place where tales of glory and debauchery vie with declarations of love and anger, where neighbourhood dramas are scrutinized and wisdom doled out to one and all.

Naipaul V.S., The Mimic Men — 1983

A profound novel of cultural displacement, The Mimic Men masterfully evokes a colonial man—s experience in a postcolonial world. Born of Indian heritage and raised on a British-dependent Caribbean island, Ralph Singh has retired to suburban London, writing his memoirs as a means to impose order on a chaotic existence. His memories lead him to recognize the paradox of his childhood during which he secretly fantasized about a heroic India, yet changed his name from Ranjit Kripalsingh. As he assesses his short-lived marriage to an ostentatious white woman, Singh realizes what has kept him from becoming a proper Englishman. But it is the return home and his subsequent immersion in the roiling political atmosphere of a newly self-governed nation that ultimately provide Singh with the necessary insight to discover the crux of his disillusionment.

Naipaul V.S., The Overcrowded Barracoon and Other Articles — 1981

The Overcrowded Barracoon is an extraordinarily coherent assembly of articles...always its quickening sense of these other cultures, other fantasies and other dilemmas is superbly communicated with chorographs of such subtle richness, comedy, pain and discovery that you really can look acros at new territory - Dennis Potter in The Times.

Naipaul V.S., The Loss of El Dorado. A History — 1978

The history of Trinidad begins with a delusion: the belief that somewhere nearby on the South American mainland lay El Dorado, the mythical kingdom of gold. In this extraordinary and often gripping book, V. S. Naipaul himself a native of Trinidad shows how that delusion drew a small island into the vortex of world events, making it the object of Spanish and English colonial designs and a mecca for treasure-seekers, slave-traders, and revolutionaries. Amid massacres and poisonings, plunder and multinational intrigue, two themes emerge: the grinding down of the Aborigines during the long rivalries of the El Dorado quest and, two hundred years later, the man-made horror of slavery. An accumulation of casual, awful detail takes us as close as we can get to day-to-day life in the slave colony, where, in spite of various titles of nobility, only an opportunistic, near-lawless community exists, always fearful of slave suicide or poison, of African sorcery and revolt. Naipaul tells this labyrinthine story with assurance, withering irony, and lively sympathy. The result is historical writing at its highest level.
