[Book Recommendation] Iswaran the Storyteller by the late award-winning Indian writer R. K. Narayan

[testing_testing]

Plot:

Iswaran the Storyteller by R. K. Narayan is a story about Mahendra, a junior supervisor in a firm and his cook, Iswaran. Mahendra has to keep moving from place to place every now and then as ordered by his head office. Wherever he goes, Iswaran will always be there with him.

Iswaran not only takes great care of his master but also tells him interesting stories. One day he scares his master with his ghost story. Things take an unexpected turn...

Iswaran the Storyteller Theme:

• The story draws up a picture of one who believes in supernatural elements and is very gullible towards his beliefs (Mahendra) and one who talks about these (Iswaran).
• It illustrates that one should never get carried away by the tales one tells or assume the reality through those.
• It is necessary to apply one’s own wit and intelligence before we jump to conclusions. No one must quickly believe in whatever they hear because lies spread faster than truth.

P.S. This is a real book.
