Paul William Roberts's journeys through India span twenty years,
and in this "unusual and literally wondrous tale" (Toronto Globe
and Mail), he creates a dazzling mosaic, by turns tragic and comic,
of the subcontinent and its people. From the crumbling palaces of
maharajas to the slums of Calcutta, from the ashrams of holy men to
a millionaire drug dealer's heavily guarded fortress, Roberts
captures the lure of this enigmatic land -- this empire of the
soul.
