About this listen
A new story from internationally renowned author Amitav Ghosh, The Living Mountain is a cautionary tale of how we have systematically exploited nature, leading to an environmental collapse.
Recounted as a dream, this is a fable about Mahaparbat, the Living Mountain; the indigenous valley dwellers who live and prosper in its shelter; the assault on the mountain for commercial benefit by the Anthropoi, humans whose sole aim is to reap the bounty of nature; and the disaster that unfolds as a result.
The Living Mountain is especially relevant today when we have been battling a pandemic and are facing a climate catastrophe: both of which are products of our insufficient understanding of mankind's relationship with nature, and our sustained appropriation and abuse of natural resources. This is a book of our times, for our times, and it will resonate strongly with readers of all ages.

Amazing Read
Ruthless satire on the British colonial empire and unending exploitation of the Indian sub continent. Amazing performance by Ranjit and Pallavi.

A Fable for Our Times
A very powerful fable. As I listened to the audio book the history of the world and the history of science technology and economics seemed to unravel. The cost of progress as have known since the industrial revolution is laid bare.

Liked it. Narrator was impressive. Story ok ok.
I liked it but didn't really love it. The story could have been 1/3rd shorter. A bit dragging in the end. Somehow just made me feel meh...
