Two comic gems from the father of modern Indian fiction- available
in one volume for the first time
These two novels show R. K. Narayan at his best, offering
enchanting tales of human absurdity that are also skillfully woven
parables infused with Hindu mysticism. "A Tiger for Malgudi" is
told from the point of view of the tiger Raja, now old and
toothless, who looks back on his life in the circus and in films,
and on his dramatic bid to escape the brutish human world in a
quest for freedom. "The Man-Eater of Malgudi" is the story of
Nataraj, a mild-mannered printer who stands up to Vasu, a
pugnacious taxidermist, when Vasu begins to covet the beloved
temple elephant for his collection.
