À propos de cet audio

British Book Awards, Author of the Year, 2009.

Man Booker Prize, Fiction, 2008.

Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. Too poor to finish school, he has to work in a teashop until the day a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. Balram becomes aware of immense wealth all around him, and realizes the only way he can become part of it is by murdering his master.

The White Tiger presents a raw and unromanticized India, both thrilling and shocking.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Dazzling...an Indian novel that explodes the cliches...It's a thrilling ride through a global power...Brimming with idiosyncrasy, sarcastic, cunning and often hilarious." ( The Independent)

This book goes in the shelf of wonderful books which describes the rags to riches story of a person with a rich background information on the Indian cultural and socio-political traits found in an ordinary person who is yearning to come out of his caste and class shell. The idea of narrating it to a Chinese Premier and the comparisons drawn out between a growing India and China makes it stand out from the other stories that fall under this category.

Excellent style of narration!!

Why does the narrator do that fake Indian accent thing throughout the book. Really wish I chose another narrator.

Like the book hate the audio narrator.
