Shiva Naipaul was a novelist and journalist whose work offered a starkly critical lens on post-colonial societies. His writing frequently exposed the superficiality and mimicry of Western models within emerging native hierarchies. Naipaul also explored the perceived banality and diffidence of Western liberalism with a notable pessimism. His distinct prose style provided a profound examination of the complexities of the modern world.

Román z trinidadského městečka, které oživuje zázračný vzestup jednoho z jeho obyvatel, indického přistěhovalce, majitele přepravní společnosti. V jeho životě nic neznamenají pojmy jako láska, úcta a přátelství a ze svého domu despoticky vládne celému okolí. Pro život podnikatele se v duchu své životní filozofie snaží připravit i svého syna, ale v tomto případě ho čeká porážka v době mladé a sebevědomé snachy. Na mikrokosmu typické venkovské obce a osudech jejích obyvatel zachycuje autor trinidadskou současnost jako kritickou a symbolickou výpověď k problémům zemí, hledajících cestu k samostatnosti.
In the 1970s the author travelled to Africa, visiting Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia for several months. This title describes his journeys.
