«El sanador místico» is the humorous novel by V. S. Naipaul, published by Debate Editorial in hardcover (230 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Ganesh Ramsumair, a spiritual teacher and politician of humble origins whose rise leads him to receive the Order of the British Empire. With Ganesh's trajectory as a thread, Naipaul addresses writing, cultural clash, and the contradictions of the colonial world, as well as the imposture of postcolonial politics and the endearing nature of daily life.
It was originally published in 1957 as The Mystic Masseur and is V. S. Naipaul's first novel; this Spanish edition includes the translation by Flora Casas.
For readers of literary fiction interested in the work of Nobel Prize in Literature winner V. S. Naipaul.
