The White Tiger
7 hrs. 9 min.
Description
Balram, nicknamed White Tiger, is a simple guy from a typical Indian village—a poor man among the poorest. He has no property in his family except a shack and a cart. Among his brothers and sisters, Balram is the most sharp-minded and quick-witted. He’s clearly destined for a better fate than the one prepared for his peers in the village. The White Tiger breaks into the city, where he is waiting for unheard-of and terrifying adventures, where he will radically change his destiny, fall to the very bottom—and then rise to the very top.
But “The White Tiger” isn’t a typical Indian melodrama about a slum millionaire. No—this is a revolutionary book whose goal is to break the stereotypical notions of India and show it the way it really is. It’s a country where Light retreats before Darkness every day, where fear and horror go hand in hand with fun and jokes. “The White Tiger” caused a wave of emotions around the world: some are outraged, others applaud the courage and talent of a young writer. And to the latter joined the jury of the Booker Prize, awarding the main book prize of 2008 to Aravind Adiga and his magnificent novel.
In “The White Tiger” you’ll find everything: sharp and original ideas, brilliant prose, irony and jokes, real feelings—but above all, what matters is freedom and truth.
