Paperback. Condición: Very Good. I was beating the life out of Bibhuti with a baseball bat when my first monsoon broke.John Lock has come to India to meet his de stiny: a destiny dressed in a white karate suit and sporting an i mpressive moustache. He has fled the quiet desperation of his lif e in England: decades wasted in a meaningless job, a marriage fou ndering in the wake of loss and a terrible secret he cannot bear to share with his wife. He has come to offer his help to a man wh o has learned to conquer pain, a world record breaker who special ises in feats of extreme endurance and ill-advised masochism. Bib huti Nayak's next record attempt - to have fifty baseball bats br oken over his body - will set the seal on a career that has seen him rise from poverty to become a minor celebrity in a nation whe re standing out from the crowd requires tenacity, courage and per haps a touch of madness. In answering Bibhuti's call for assistan ce, John hopes to rewrite a brave end to a life poorly lived. But as they take their leap of faith together, and John is welcomed into Bibhuti's family, and into the colour and chaos of Mumbai - where he encounters ping-pong-playing monks, a fearless seven-yea r-old martial arts warrior and an old man longing for the monsoon to wash him away - he learns more about life, and death, and eve rything in between than he could ever have bargained for.
