Sinopse

Edinburgh's spectral tales are more than mere folklore; they are echoes of a tangible past, deeply intertwined with the city's history and cultural identity. Edinburgh Ghosts delves into these narratives, revealing how historical traumas, social anxieties, and enduring cultural traditions have shaped the haunted landscape of Scotland's capital. From plague outbreaks to witch trials, Edinburgh's past has left an indelible mark, influencing the ghost stories that persist today. These tales aren't just fanciful; they serve as a collective memory, preserving and transmitting the city's complex past. The book explores key haunted locations like Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, providing historical context for associated legends. It examines the literary influence of figures like Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Walter Scott, who amplified Edinburgh's eerie atmosphere in popular perception. Progressing through its chapters, the book illuminates the city's spectral reputation, explores the literary influences that shaped its ghostly image, and examines the modern context of Edinburgh’s ghost stories, including their role in tourism and contemporary media.

    Mumbai - A Million Islands

    Since the East India Company merged seven islands into Bombay (now Mumbai), change has been constant-but now it is used as a weapon for displacement, disguised as development. Slums are erased overnight to make way for luxury towers priced in tens of crores. The working class is pushed to the margins-literally-and into distant housing projects with no infrastructure, transport or sanitation. Entire communities are uprooted while a new Mumbai is built for the privileged few, behind closed gates, inside glass walls. 
    Sidharth Bhatia's Mumbai: A Million Islands is a piercing look at a city in the throes of relentless transformation. What is vanishing is not just space, but memory, history and the very fabric of a living city. Mumbai's famed spirit of survival is being tested like never before. Where the original seven islands had symbolized a synergy, today they're multiplying as fractures-social, spatial and economic-splitting the city into a million islands, each more isolated than the other.
