"Mr. Anand is one of India's finest contemporary writers, and this is his most famous book. Coolie is the vivid and moving story of an Indian lad, Munoo, from the day he leaves his village in the hills, full of life and the juice of stolen mangos, to his end as a rickshaw boy, still in his teens, dying of consumption. Between these two points lies a lifetime of experience, as is the case with most people in India who cannot look forward to a much longer span of life. This is not a politico-economic text arbitrarily cast into novel form. Mr. Armand is an artist, and his indictment of social conditions is an intricate tapestry of many brilliant colors. At the time this book was written, the efforts of Indian workers to unite in trade unions and people's organizations were still at an early stage. Mulk Raj Anand beautifully illuminates the meaning of that struggle $25.00USD
