Story-in-Short:
An atheist city-clicker unleashed on a medieval holy village…
A simpleton village priests boy who blindly worships and guards a pantheon of Gods and Their traditions…
Strange things happen when their worlds collide!
This is a tale of that turmoil on a lonely night in a jungle, when the ghosts you vener knew till a few hours ago are let loose on the ghosts that you always carried within, unknowingly.
Welcome to the unholy clash of beleifs, fear and frailities with unkown Gods and demons. A clash that will test your convictions. A clash that will rabidly claw and unmask your subconscious, leaving you naked and paralyzed in front of your demonds – in a climax that is as ambiguous as it is certain…
Welcome to the madness of ‘Lucifer’s Lungi’.. where What-You-See-Is-NOT-What-You-Get…
In my view:
Do you believe in ghosts? Do you imagine about them? Do you wish to try something adventurous? If yes, then here’s a book out for you by debutant author Nitin Sawant.
The protagonist of the story visits South India. It is during this visit that he meets Sarvanna and a little boy of a chef. Sarvanna tells him about the village and those beliefs in which villagers hold a strong faith. The superstitious believes of the villagers take him aback. Belonging from the modern world and having a scientific insight, he denies agreeing what Sarvanna tells him.
He tries to remove all those wrong delusions by debating on it but fails. One fine night, he experiences something unusual and horrifying. What does he experience? What about Lucifer? Who is Lucifer? Is he troubled by some ghosts or is it something else? Questions will tend to turn up but in search for their answers, one must read the book!
The story that this novel gets is really unique and interesting. To explore this tale in detail readers must simply grab their copies and take pleasures of reading it!
Over-all: The cover of the book is interesting. The temple, the lungi, trees and the dusk on the cover of the book faintly tell a reader about its genre. The title too is interesting and catchy. The narration of the story is commendable. The best part of the novel is it involves a reader in such a way that a single day is enough for a reader to finish up the book.
Speaking about the drawbacks,there are a very few grammatical errors in the book which could have been avoided. Also, some words in a South Indian language will remain absurd to a non-South Indian reader. The beginning of the book is a bit blur. But as the story develops, things become clear and comprehensible and then a reader doesn’t feels like putting the book down.
