Description
Balram Halwai is a complicated man. Servant. Philosopher. Entrepreneur. Murderer. Over the course of seven nights, by the scattered light of a preposterous chandelier, Balram tells the terrible and transfixing story of how he came to be a success in life--having nothing but his own wits to help him along.
Description
Balram Halwai es un hombre complicado. Sirviente. Filósofo. Empresario. Asesino. Durante siete noches, a la luz mortecina de una ridícula araña, Balram nos cuenta su historia. Nacido en una villa en el corazón de la India, se formó un sueño en su cabeza: el de escapar de la orilla del Ganges, en cuyas oscuras profundidades se han podrido generaciones enteras. Para ello se traslada a Delhi, donde será contratado como chófer. Mientras los otros sirvientes hojean la última revista de sucesos, Balram empieza a vislumbrar cómo el Tigre va a poder escapar de su jaula. Claro que ¿qué hombre de éxito no se ha visto obligado a derramar un poco de sangre en su camino a la cima?
