About the Book
A Tiger for Malgudi is a captivating and thought-provoking novel by R.K. Narayan that brings together elements of Hindu legend and Narayan's trademark comic vision. The story is narrated by Raja, a tiger who possesses the soul of an enlightened human being. Raja's journey begins in the Mempi hills, where he is taken from his home, captured, and forced to perform in a circus and later on a film set.
Eventually, Raja escapes, only to be recaptured, but this time, he willingly returns to be with a guru. Together, they journey back to the hills of Malgudi, where they spend their days in philosophical discussion, seeking enlightenment. However, as old age catches up with Raja, he faces the realization that true freedom may not always be within his grasp.
With the simplicity and depth that characterize Narayan's best works, A Tiger for Malgudi offers a compelling fable that touches on the universal themes of freedom, enlightenment, and the nature of existence. It’s a story that will resonate with readers of all ages, encouraging reflection on the deeper meaning of life while providing a rich, unforgettable reading experience.
