Although Goa’s allure is legendary, the secret of the fascination that this little territory holds has been penetrated by very few. It arises partly from Goa’s sheer natural beauty, partly from her distinctive Indo-Iberian cultural amalgam. But the essence of Goa and Goan-ness remains elusive for most. This richly illustrated book by Goa’s best known contemporary writer leads the reader to grasp that indefinable es- sence. With a distinctively Goan humour and understanding, Mario Cabral e Sa unfolds the intricately worked fabric of Goa’s history, embel- lished with legends of love and tales of glory. He explores the past, maps the salient features of the present and considers the future-inci- dentally stripping away many of the stereotypes brought into currency by superficial observers.
The book is essential reading for anyone acquainted with Goa, and a memorable pictorial record as well, by a well-known international photographer who has had a long and intimate association with India and its people. Jean-Louis Nou’s sixty lavish colour pictures are a fitting tribute to the unique texture of Goan life, past and present.
