Eloquent Books Animalese

Deep within a remote forest in Central India, a village finds itself in disorder. As the humans and animals experience its ill effects, debris from a passing comet falls into the village lake, infusing its waters with a mysterious power that enables those who drink from it to communicate with other life forms. Deciding to exploit this ability to set matters right within the village, the animals, along with the assistance of a village girl named Vennela, focus their efforts on the principal architect of their woes: local abattoir owner Ganju Hindolba. Can Vennela and the animals possibly win against the likes of a shady business owner? "A story that methodically yet delightfully shatters the egotistic human notions of superiority over all other beings and the assumption that they are a force independent of Nature...the style and language of Animalese will surely appeal to readers of all ages." - C.V. Chandrasekhar, Retd., Head and Dean of the Faculty of Performing Arts of M S University of Baroda "Animalese takes a peek into the lives of other life forms with which we share the bounties of this earth and opens our eyes to issues that humans find convenient to ignore.
