Samenvatting



''The magnificent new novel from the million-selling Booker Prize-winning author of The White Tiger: 'a kaleidoscopic portrait of a changing Mumbai' (Guardian Best Books of 2011). A suspense-filled story of money and power, luxury and deprivation; a rich tapestry peopled by unforgettable characters, not least of which is Bombay itself, LAST MAN IN TOWER opens up the hearts and minds of the inhabitants of a great city - ordinary people pushed to their limits in a place that knows none. ' LAST MAN IN TOWER is a brilliant, and remarkably mature, second novel. A rare achievement.' The Economist.''



This is the paperback publication of Aravind Adiga's second novel is, quite simply, Atlantic's biggest paperback of the year supported by its biggest ever marketing campaign. 21st Century Mumbai is a city of new money and soaring real estate, and property kingpin Dharmen Shah has grand plans for its future. His offer to buy and tear down a weathered tower block, making way for luxury apartments, will make each of its residents rich - if all agree to sell. But not everyone wants to leave; many of the residents have lived there for a lifetime, many of them are no longer young. As tensions rise among the once civil neighbours, one by one those who oppose the offer give way to the majority, until only one man stands in Shah's way: Masterji, a retired schoolteacher, once the most respected man in the building. Shah is a dangerous man to refuse, but as the demolition deadline looms, Masterji's neighbours - friends who have become enemies, acquaintances turned co-conspirators - may stop at nothing to score their payday...It is suitable for readers of Aravind Adiga's previous books, ''A Fine Balance'' by Rohinton Mistry and ''Q and A'' (''Slumdog Millionaire'') by Vikas Swarup.
