About this audiobook
Amidst the ruins of a brilliant career, an exiled politician reflects on the intertwining of his private passions and his grand visions for a reorganized society. His memoirs expose the hypocrisy of the ruling class and the emotional cost of attempting to modernize a tradition-bound nation. It is a sophisticated psychological study of how personal scandal can derail even the most noble public ambitions.
