The Epic City: The World on the Streets of Calcutta

Kushanava Choudhury returns to his native Calcutta after years abroad to discover a city that defies every expectation. Part memoir, part urban exploration, The Epic City wanders through crumbling neighbourhoods and vibrant street corners, revealing the contradictions of a metropolis caught between decay and resilience. Choudhury writes with affection and unflinching honesty about a place where history, poverty, and possibility collide on every corner. Perfect for armchair travellers and anyone fascinated by the complex soul of cities.
