Paperback. Condición: Fair. NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE | Winner of the Booker Prize "This is the authentic voice of the Third World, like you've never heard it before." --John Burdett, author of Bangkok 8 The debut novel from the author of Amnesty and Selection Day Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger is a darkly comic and unflinching look at modern India's caste system, poverty, corruption, and ambition. At the heart of the novel is Balram Halwai, the so-called "white tiger"--a rare creature who rises against the odds. Born in a poor Indian village, Balram becomes a driver for a wealthy family in Delhi before reinventing himself as a self-made Bangalore entrepreneur. As he recounts his journey in a letter to the visiting president of China, Balram exposes the contradictions of Indian society, where deep-rooted traditions of servitude and inequality collide with the promise of global business and outsourcing. Wickedly funny, brutally honest, and deeply provocative, The White Tiger reveals the stark realities of class, corruption, and opportunity in contemporary India. Amoral yet strangely endearing, Balram's voice pulls readers into a world both dazzling and unsettling. With its biting social commentary and sharp storytelling, The White Tiger stands as one of the most important works of 21st-century Indian literature--a bold satire and a powerful portrait of ambition and survival.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. A riveting, suspenseful and exuberant novel from the bestselling, Man Booker Prize-winning author of The White Tiger and Selection Day about a young illegal immigrant who must decide whether to report crucial information about a murder--and thereby risk deportation. Danny--formerly Dhananjaya Rajaratnam--is an illegal immigrant in Sydney, Australia, denied refugee status after he fled from Sri Lanka. Working as a cleaner, living out of a grocery storeroom, for three years he's been trying to create a new identity for himself. And now, with his beloved vegan girlfriend, Sonja, with his hidden accent and highlights in his hair, he is as close as he has ever come to living a normal life. But then one morning, Danny learns a female client of his has been murdered. The deed was done with a knife, at a creek he'd been to with her before; and a jacket was left at the scene, which he believes belongs to another of his clients--a doctor with whom Danny knows the woman was having an affair. Suddenly Danny is confronted with a choice: Come forward with his knowledge about the crime and risk being deported? Or say nothing, and let justice go undone? Over the course of this day, evaluating the weight of his past, his dreams for the future, and the unpredictable, often absurd reality of living invisibly and undocumented, he must wrestle with his conscience and decide if a person without rights still has responsibilities. Propulsive, insightful, and full of Aravind Adiga's signature wit and magic, Amnesty is both a timeless moral struggle and a universal story with particular urgency today. …

Paperback. Condición: Fair. NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE The stunning Booker Prize-winning novel from the author of Amnesty and Selection Day that critics have likened to Richard Wright's Native Son, The White Tiger follows a darkly comic Bangalore driver through the poverty and corruption of modern India's caste society. "This is the authentic voice of the Third World, like you've never heard it before" (John Burdett, Bangkok 8). The white tiger of this novel is Balram Halwai, a poor Indian villager whose great ambition leads him to the zenith of Indian business culture, the world of the Bangalore entrepreneur.

Recalling The Death of Vishnu and Bangkok 8 in ambition, scope, The White Tiger is narrative genius with a mischief and personality all its own. Amoral, irreverent, deeply endearing, and utterly contemporary, this novel is an international publishing sensation--and a startling, provocative debut.…
