To explain his motive he narrates the story of Salim and the tragic relationship he had with his beloved nation Pureland.
Salim's unlikely life is prophesized by a levitating saint. Starting as a feudal servant he inadvertently contributes to a coup d'etat that derails his country and eventually leads to a hostile takeover of Pureland by the Caliphate. Salim leaves for New York. Over his subsequent years in exile remorse leads him to try and undo this wrong - and in doing so he creates vicious enemies who vie to slay him. One such enemy is the narrator himself.Inspired by a true story Zarrar Said's novel Pureland is a tour-de-force debut about a nation that has lost its way its people who suffer from unspeakable tyranny and a remorseful hero whose legacy has been wiped out by hatred. 9789353023096out of stock INR 479
