Tale Of The Dreamer's Son - Preeta Samarasan - Bog

Bag om Tale Of The Dreamer's Son

In what was once a Scottish tea planter''s mansion in the highlands of Peninsular Malaysia, all religions are one and race is unheard of. That is, until the occupants of what is now known as the Muhibbah Centre for World Peace are joined by Salmah, a Malay Muslim woman. ''All are welcome here,'' they are reminded by their spiritual leader, Cyril Dragon, who is ignoring news of the changing political climate with its increasing religious intolerance. He is still trying to forget May 13, 1969, when ethnic tensions boiled over into bloodshed. Tale of the Dreamer''s Son guides us from that fateful incident in Malaysian history to the present day. Throughout, Samarasan''s polyphonic, rambunctious prose brilliantly navigates the tug-of-war between ideals and reality
