Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Hardback. Face to Face. Previous owners name and date to inside cover. Slight foxing to end inside covers and edge. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. This is the brillian autobiography of a valiant young Hindu who was blinded by meningitis at the age of three. Determined to overcome the immense physical and financial difficulties that faced him - in India the blind are considered practically unemployable - he managed by sheer persistence to gaim admission to the Arkansas Schoo;l for the Blind, in the United States. From there he went to Pomona College in California, where he had an outstanding career, competing on equal terms with the other students in such fields of learning as literature, history and philosophy, all of which had been foreign to his entire upbringing. Ved Mehta's father was a high-ranking officer in the Indian Civil Service. The book provides a vivid picture of Indian family life, and also of the transition from British rule to indeoendence - including a terrifying account of the massacre at Lahore. Mehta's assessment of America is acute, and this book is a magnificent tribute to the generosity he was accorded there. Above all, the book brings wonderfully before one's imagination what it is like to live in a world where sight is replaced by touch, sound, smell, and 'facial vision'. Mehta has mastered his disability so well that he can, for instance, bicycle in empty streets with complete ease. And his personality - intelligent, modest, sensitive, and full of humour - shines through every page of this unusual and moving book. 322 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
