Story of a tiger described by the tiger`s own mouth

Creator: Rk NARAYAN  

Just like the instance of all  RN NARAYAN books and stories, A Tiger for Malgudi is situated in Malgudi, a nonexistent township in southern India. It is, truth be told, a collection of memoirs of a tiger. The tiger in the novel is the focal character around whom the story rotates. 

His life in the wildernesses as a wild mammoth, his experience with people and days in bazaar and after that his adventure in the human environment are all caught in a grasping incomparable style of narrating one of a kind to Narayanan.

The tiger, the legend of the novel, at first takes a gander at men as diminutive and unintelligent animals til he is caught by them and kept in bondage for carnival. As he terrains in the carnival, he begins fearing individuals whom he needed to obey all the live long day. In the long run, he breaks free and strays into town spreading frenzy and dread wherever he went.


The tiger's adventures end as he interacts with a recluse, swamiji. The wild monster changes himself into a witness of peacefulness in the organization of swamiji and approaches people with deference. This supernatural occurrence was conceivable through the mesmeric impact of the swamiji. With his uncommon expertise of speaking with creatures, the loner has some better than average talks with the tiger on subjects running from theory to life which eventually had acculturating impact on the best.

 PITH of the book 

Straightforward plot, clear narrating style, the story is humourously given a touch of reality and mockery are the signs of the novel. A Tiger for Malgudi is basically a parody woven in a sarcastic organization by RK Narayan in his special style which will beyond any doubt leave an enduring effect at the forefront of your thoughts.

The novel consolidates Hindu enchantment with quintessential human foolishness through the speech of a tiger who finds the universe of people excessively brutish and bewildering till he goes over the holy person who shows him about the logic of life in spiritualist terms. His delicate impact on him constrains him to begin life over again in another symbol as a peace adoring animal opposing to his characteristic being. The diversion and mockery intrinsic in the book are normal for RK Narayan style.
