Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The Calcutta Chromosome is a 1996 English-language novel by Indian author Amitav Ghosh. The book, set in Calcutta and New York City at some unspecified time in the future, is a medical thriller that dramatizes the adventures of people who are brought together by a mysterious turn of events. The book is loosely based on the life and times of Sir Ronald Ross, the Nobel Prize–winning scientist who achieved a breakthrough in malaria research in 1898. The novel was the recipient of the Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1997. Ghosh employs a factual background for the invented events in the novel, drawing upon Ross's Memoirs which were published in 1923.
