Maklumat produk
- NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE | Winner of the Booker Prize “This is the authentic voice of the Third World, like you've never heard it before.” —John Burdett, author of Bangkok 8 The debut novel from the author of Amnesty and Selection Day Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger is a darkly comic and unflinching look at modern India’s caste system, poverty, corruption, and ambition.At the heart of the novel is Balram Halwai, the so-called “white tiger”—a rare creature who rises against the odds. Born in a poor Indian village, Balram becomes a driver for a wealthy family in Delhi before reinventing himself as a self-made Bangalore entrepreneur. As he recounts his journey in a letter to the visiting president of China, Balram exposes the contradictions of Indian society, where deep-rooted traditions of servitude and inequality collide with the promise of global business and outsourcing. Wickedly funny, brutally honest, and deeply provocative, The White Tiger reveals the stark realities of class, corruption, and opportunity in contemporary India. Amoral yet strangely endearing, Balram’s voice pulls readers into a world both dazzling and unsettling. With its biting social commentary and sharp storytelling, The White Tiger stands as one of the most important works of 21st-century Indian literature—a bold satire and a powerful portrait of ambition and survival.

Cultural Heritage Editorial Review
The White Tiger: A Novel is a gripping tale by Aravind Adiga that explores the life of Balram Halwai, who rises from the depths of servitude in rural India to become a successful entrepreneur. Through his narrative, the book addresses the stark contrasts of wealth and poverty, emphasizing the struggles of many Indians trapped in the caste system. Readers are taken on a compelling journey as Balram employs cunning strategies to navigate a world of corruption and deceit. Not only does it offer an engaging story, but it also serves as a reflection on the socio-economic divides in India, highlighted by Adiga's sharp prose and poignant storytelling.
