About this book
Langadya, a boy from a poor family who is born with one shortened leg, is nevertheless shrewd, clever and highly skilled in practical matters. Through his intelligence and cunning, he has learned to overcome his physical disability.
Academically, he is not particularly bright, but when it comes to practical dealings, his mind works brilliantly.
His growing intelligence and cleverness fuel an ever-increasing ambition to become successful and make others dance to his tune. Helping him fulfil this ambition is a cat! The cat secretly sneaks into people's homes and brings him their private information and secrets. Armed with this information, Langadya begins his journey at the village level and eventually rises to become a powerful kingmaker who helps create legislators.
But then a series of unexpected events take place, giving his life a completely different turn.
Ultimately, Langadya's story raises several thought-provoking questions. Does he reach the pinnacle of material success, or does he sink into moral degradation? What lies hidden beneath a person's glittering success? To what extent can ambition drive someone? Where do the boundaries between morality and immorality begin and end?
A remarkable novel that explores the complexities of human existence through the medium of black comedy. Intellectually stimulating and thoroughly engaging, it keeps readers captivated until the end.
