Adventures of an Elephant Boy

Adventures of an Elephant Boy

Leonard Wibberley
4.4/5 ( ratings)
When Dr. Pangloss became the President of the Best of All Possible Nations , he sent to Asia for an elephant boy—to be the President’s personal guest and see for himself how every citizen of BAPN was able to pursue his own personal quest for life, liberty and happiness. So it was that Hari Ranjit Singh was torn from his quiet village life on a tributary of the Ganges and catapulted into horrendous adventures halfway around the world and back again, where he could rejoin his beloved elephant, Golden Lotus, on the banks of the peaceful river.

Conceivably this startling novel can be read profitably for story alone—but only conceivably. It is satire indeed, and Swiftian at that—highly pertinent to our times and sharpshooter-sure.
