«Slowly Down the Ganges» is Eric Newby's travelogue, published by HarperPress in paperback (400 pages, in English).
On his forty-fourth birthday, Eric Newby travels the 1,200 miles of the Ganges with his wife Wanda, from Hardwar to the Bay of Bengal. The journey proves slower and more haphazard than expected: they run aground 63 times in the first six days and travel by unstable boats, train, bus, and bullock cart.
The work was originally published in 1966; the edition described here is from 2011 and belongs to the HarperPress imprint.
For readers of travel literature and chronicles about India; Newby's self-deprecating humor makes it appealing to a general audience.
George Eric Newby was an English travel writer. His works include A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush, The Last Grain Race and A Small Place in Italy.
