«L'Équilibre du monde» is the novel by Rohinton Mistry published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (896 pages, in French).
Set in India in the 1970s and 1980s, the novel follows Ishvar and Omprakash, two tailors of the untouchable caste; Dina, a young widow who sews at home to survive; and Maneck, a student from the mountains. Their stories cross in Bombay during turbulent political times, in a choral narrative about the human condition.
The work is the French translation of «A Fine Balance», originally published in English in 1995; the translation is by Françoise Adelstain.
For fans of literary and historical fiction, with an interest in contemporary India and choral narratives with a social backdrop.
