סיכום:This paper is a study of how Amitav Ghosh weaves together personal accounts of individuals caught in the conflict of history in his travelogue Dancing in Cambodia, At Large in Burma. Identifying the author’s need to uncover stories new and old, break down artificial political boundaries and dissolve distances in time and space to bring new worlds within our reach, my paper will consider how these configurations are presented in these essays through metaphors of fine arts.
