Книга: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala «Heat and Dust: Stage 5»
Производитель: "OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS" Серия: "Oxford Bookworms Library" Heat and dust - these simple, terrible words describe the Indian summer. Year after year, endlessly, it is the same. And everyone who experiences this heat and dust is changed for ever. We often say, in these modern times, that sexual relationships have changed, for better or for worse. But in this book we see that things have not changed. Whether we look back sixty years, or a hundred and sixty, we see that it is not things that change, but people. And, in the heat and dust of an Indian summer, even people are not very different after all. ISBN:978-0-19-479227-1 Издательство: "OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS" (2008)

Of this collaboration, Ismail Merchant once commented: "It is a strange marriage we have at Merchant Ivory...I am an Indian Muslim, Ruth is a German Jew, and Jim is a Protestant American.

Ismail Merchant died in 2005, of complications resulting from a stomach ulcer.
