Description

Lahore: A Sentimental Journey was first published in 1993, in Pran Nevile s tribute to the land of his birth. This revised edition includes a chapter about his experiences at Government College, an epilogue and an afterword. Grounded in memory and redolent with nostalgia, Nevile s reminiscences transport the reader into the heart of Lahore as it was in the 1930s and 40s a city bustling with activity where people coexisted harmoniously, unfettered by considerations of religion, region or caste. From the riotous seasonal festivities of kite-flying to clandestine love-affairs on rooftops, from matinee shows at the cinema to twilight hours spent amongst the bejeweled dancing girls of Hira Mandi, Lahore emerges as a city of mesmerizing contradictions and chaotic splendour.

About the Author

Pran Nevile was born in Lahore from where he obtained a postgraduate degree. After a distinguished career in the Indian Foreign Service and the United Nations he became a freelance writer and has written extensively on Indian art and culture.
