R K Narayan
The Guide” is the most well known novel of R K Narayan, who is the first major Indian English fiction writer with a considerable readers abroad. The Guide is the tale of Railway Raju, a disarmingly corrupt tourist guide, who lives by his wits and falls in love with a beautiful dancer. More by chance than skill, he seduces her away from her husband, a lonely writer obsessed with local rock-carvings, and transforms her into a celebrity courted by wealthy and influential dignitaries wherever she performs. Raju makes and loses a fortune, finds himself in jail, and—through a series of hilarious, ironic circumstances—becomes one of India’s great holy men.
