Product description
Raju begins as a tourist guide at the Malgudi railway station, becomes the manager and lover of a gifted dancer, Rosie, and after a spell in prison drifts into a village where the people take him for a sage. When drought comes, they expect him to fast for rain. Narayan tells the story with gentle humour and a sharp eye for self-deception, moving between past and present. The novel won the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1960 and is one of the most widely read works of Indian writing in English.
