Publisher's summary

Ahankar by Premchand, inspired by Anatole France’s classic novel Thais, reimagines a timeless tale of pride, redemption, and moral conflict. Set in late antiquity, Thais explores the life of a beautiful and infamous courtesan in Alexandria whose world is turned upside down by the arrival of Paphnutius, a devout Christian monk. Paphnutius is determined to save Thais’s soul from her sinful existence, setting off a profound spiritual and moral drama.

Premchand’s adaptation brings this narrative to a new cultural context, focusing on the saint’s journey as his arrogance and self-importance lead to his ultimate downfall. Through the lens of this powerful story, Ahankar delves into the themes of pride, the clash between worldly desires and spiritual values, and the quest for redemption. This evocative audio experience offers a rich exploration of the consequences of unchecked ego and the transformative power of humility, all while staying true to the psychological depth and moral complexities of France’s original work.

Please note: This audiobook is in Hindi.
