Title: Smoke and Ashes Author: Amitav Ghosh Narrator: Ranjit Madgavkar Format: mp3 Length: 12 hrs and 35 mins Release date: 08-07-23 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: China Publisher's Summary: When Amitav Ghosh began his research for the Ibis Trilogy some twenty years ago, he was startled to find how the lives of the nineteenth-century sailors and soldiers he wrote of were dictated not only by the currents of the Indian Ocean, but also by a precious commodity carried in enormous quantities on those currents: opium. Most surprising of all was the discovery that his own identity and family history were swept up in the story. Smoke and Ashes is at once a travelogue, a memoir and an excursion into history, both economic and cultural.
