How to Get Filthy Rich In Rising Asia

Autor Mohsin Hamid
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 feb 2014
A sharp, fresh satire for the ruthless modern world - for fans of Dave Eggers, Ben Lerner and Gary Shtenygart

'Mohsin Hamid is one of the best writers in the world, period. Only a master could have written this propulsive tale of a striver living on the knife's edge, a noir Horatio Alger story for our frenetic, violent times' Ben Fountain
This book is a self-help book. Its objective, as it says on the cover, is to show you how to get filthy rich in rising Asia. And to do that it has to find you, huddled, shivering, on the packed earth under your mother's cot one cold, dewy morning. Your anguish is the anguish of a boy whose chocolate has been thrown away, whose remote controls are out of batteries, whose scooter is busted, whose new sneakers have been stolen. This is all the more remarkable since you've never in your life seen any of these things . . .
'Even more intriguing, compelling and moving thanThe Reluctant Fundamentalist. A marvellous book' Philip Pullman
'Brilliantly structured, deeply felt[and] written with the confidence and bravura of a man born to write. Hamid is at the peak of his considerable powers here, and delivers atightly paced, preternaturally wisebook about a thoroughly likable, thoroughly troubled striver in the messiest, most chaotic ring of global economy.Completely unforgettable'Dave Eggers, author ofThe Circle

Recenzii

Dazzling, addictive, tremendous. A writer at the height of his powers with a hell of a story to tell
Beautifully conceived and exquisitely executed
The new voice of a changing continent. A writer at the top of his game
No story could be more of our time than this one. Conceptually brilliant and truly empathic
An ultra-intelligent and knowing account of life in the developing world. Simply brilliant
Isn't this the definition of great fiction, that even when it begins with a character . . . who's nothing like you, by the end you are convinced that it really is about you? That's a kind of miracle
Even more intriguing, compelling and moving thanThe Reluctant Fundamentalist. A marvellous book
A dazzling stylistic tour de force; a love story disguised as a self help parody freighted with sly social satire. As timely and timeless a novel as I've read in years
