Description

U Veneciji, ispijajući koktele na Bijenalu, cinični novinar Džef Atman upoznaje prelepu ženu i upušta se s njom u strastvenu avanturu. U Benaresu, bezimeni novinar (koji bi lako mogao biti Džef) pridružuje se hiljadama hodočasnika na obali svete reke Gang i umesto nekoliko dana, kako je planirao, ostaje tamo mesecima.Njihovo putovanje – kakvo jedino neodoljivo duhoviti Džef Dajer može da smisli – čini okosnicu ovog urnebesnog, đavolski domišljatog romana o Italiji i Indiji, o žudnji i požudi, o različitim vidovima neurotičnog prosvetljenja.
