The Moor's Last Sigh

Moraish Zogoybi, nicknamed the Moor, sets out a family story by weaving into it tales of contemporary India, where fiction intertwines with truth—but the author’s boundless imagination governs everything. The saga of the da Gama family—Zogoybi—is about curses and hatred, about insane passion, criminal tendencies, and a yearning for beauty, interspersed with monologues of the main hero devoted to art, religious fanaticism, national traditions, and, of course, love.
