Are we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability - at the level of literature, history, and politics - to grasp the scale and violence of climate change.

In September 1838 a storm blows up on the Indian Ocean and the Ibis, a ship carrying a consignment of convicts and indentured laborers from Calcutta to Mauritius, is caught up in the whirlwind. When the seas settle, five men have disappeared - two lascars, two convicts and one of the passengers. Did the same storm upend the fortunes of those aboard the Anahita, an opium carrier heading towards Canton?

One of the vessels requisitioned for the attack, the Hind, travels eastward from Bengal to China, sailing into the midst of the First Opium War.

The history of the nutmeg is one of conquest and exploitation - of both human life and the natural environment - and the origin of our contemporary climate crisis. Tracing the threats to our future to the discovery of the New World and the sea route to the Indian Ocean, The Nutmeg's Curse argues that the dynamics of climate change are rooted in a centuries-old geopolitical order constructed by Western colonialism. The story of the nutmeg becomes a parable revealing the ways human history has always been entangled with earthly materials.

In a time of colonial upheaval, fate has thrown together a truly diverse cast of Indians and Westerners, from a bankrupt Raja to a widowed villager, from an evangelical English opium trader to a mulatto American freedman. As their old family ties are washed away they, like their historical counterparts, come to view themselves as jahaj-bhais or ship-brothers. An unlikely dynasty is born, which will span continents, races and generations.

Una vecchia nave negriera trasformata in mercantile, l'Ibis, raggiunge nel 1838 la foce del Gange per dedicarsi a uno dei traffici illeciti più redditizi dell'Impero britannico, il commercio di «delinquenti e stupefacenti», cioè di coolie e oppio. A mano a mano che le difficoltà imposte alla traversata dall'impetuoso Oceano Indiano mettono a dura prova i vecchi legami, tutti sulla Ibis, ciurma e passeggeri, iniziano a sentirsi «fratelli di navigazione», uniti da una singolare empatia che azzera le distanze geografiche, le caste e le generazioni.

Quando il mare si calma, cinque uomini mancano all'appello: due lascari e tre coolie sono riusciti a fuggire su una scialuppa. Seconda tappa di una grandiosa epopea storica, Il fiume dell'oppio segue i suoi personaggi fino ai porti affollati della Cina.

È il 1840 e la tensione tra la Cina e l'India britannica cresce a dismisura in seguito alla repressione del contrabbando di oppio da parte di Pechino. L'oppio è troppo importante per le casse della regina, e troppo ghiotte sono le opportunità di profitto in quel fazzoletto di mondo per non scatenare una guerra contro il Celeste Impero. Sullo sfondo di queste tensioni, i protagonisti che abbiamo incontrato a bordo della Ibis si incontrano di nuovo, questa volta tra Canton e Hong Kong.

Before the 18th century, every single nutmeg in the world originated around a group of small volcanic islands east of Java, known as the Banda Islands. As the nutmeg made its way across the known world, they became immensely valuable—in 16th-century Europe, just a handful could buy a house. It was not long before European traders became conquerors, and the indigenous Bandanese communities—and the islands themselves—would pay a high price for access to this precious commodity.
