TWENTIETH CENTURY CALCUTTA. Calcutta, the chief city of Bengal, the seat of the Supreme Government, and the Metropolis of India, stands in Lat. 22 33' N., and Long. 88 23' E. It is situated about 100 miles from the sea on the left bank of the western branch of the Ganges, called by Europeans the Hooghly and by the people of the country, who reverence it as a holy stream, "Mother Ganges" or the Bhagiratti. The main stream of the Ganges has, as a matter of fact, long since deserted this part of its delta, and now reaches the sea through the Hurringotta and the Megna, far to the eastward.

Book excerpt: Paul Theroux returns to India with a stylish and gripping novel of crime and obsession in Calcutta. In A Dead Hand, Paul Theroux brings to dramatic life a dark and twisted narrative of obsession and need. When Jerry Delfont, a travel writer with writer’s block, receives a letter from a captivating and seductive American philanthropist with news of a scandal involving an Indian friend of her son’s, he is sufficiently intrigued to pursue the story. Who is the boy found on the floor of a cheap hotel room, how and why did he die — what is it that pulls Delfont into this story, and will he ever find the truth about what happened?
