O knihe

How far would you go to save a stranger? As a 77-year-old with advanced Parkinson's disease, Mr. Niyogi's days are saturated with the pain gradually taking over his monotonous routine. Although the future seems bleak, he's left wondering if he still has a purpose. Will he simply fade into obscurity, or fight to leave an unforgettable legacy? Then the news breaks of a young man stranded on a remote island with no rescue in sight. Mr. Niyogi cannot ignore his protective instincts. Despite his physical and mental limitations and skepticism of those around him, he resolves to take matters into his own hands. Though he knows his chances of success are slim, he refuses to abandon the marooned young man, and the hope of devoting his last days doing one last act of sacrifice gives him a new lease on life. But how can an elderly Indian accountant in declining health rescue a miner trapped in the Maldives? Mr. Niyogi's Last Audit is a bittersweet literary fiction novel about the struggles of maintaining dignity and purpose in the face of aging and neurodegenerative disease. Its reflective tone and artistic flair provide a pensive social commentary on aging, loss of independence, the human condition, and the ironclad will of a person with one last chance to make a difference.
