Saat Pagal (Hindi Edition)

Roberto Alert (1900-1942) was a renowned Argentine journalist and writer who wrote numerous novels and short stories. Roberto Alert holds a place in Latin American literature as prestigious and notable as Gabriel Garca Mrquez and Isabel Allende. Written in 1929, Seven Madmen reflects an Argentina on the brink of collapse. In terms of its plot and storytelling, it can be considered one of the finest modern novels. This world, populated by dreamers, revolutionaries, and scheming army generals, is Roberto Alerts prophecy of his countrys deeply traumatic period in the twentieth century. Using simple language, the author creates such characters and an atmosphere that the reader, even if unwillingly, begins to feel a part of that world. Significantly, the world created in this novel, written nine decades ago, depicts the social and political environment of any country today, where religious fanaticism, double standards regarding women, and corruption are rampant, and the common man, trapped in his own morality, is engaged in a strange struggle to find the meaning and significance of life. In a way, Saat Pagal proves that the writer is a prophet for the country and the world.
