Sobre IBD

NEW EDITIONThe Fire of Karma is a completely original novel about India, a genuine one, like no other writing on this subject. The heroine and also the storyteller, Oma—the initiated name of the second wife of Shiva, Shakti, returned in another body—went to India in December 1986, (with financial aid from Sweden, if I remember well), to undergo a yoga treatment, as she suffered from certain locomotor malformations.She learns Bengali and is initiated into Sanskrit texts, but her doctor—or guru, as they say—seems like a paltry profiteer. He lives on her money, gets her pregnant (although he is married, and as we come to understand, he has other children), he is jealous, he abandons her, he often leaves her at the will of fate, and he follows her after she returns to her country. —Ion Rotaru

  • The Fire of Karma
    Oma
    The novel begins as a letter to her son, a complaint, or a justification. It has a testamentary and pedagogically sound, rather than confessional:’ My little one, I will tell you a sad story, which happened just before you were born’.This novel is like an exotic fruit with a great bitter taste, from which springs a boundless desire to love and to be loved. It is the credo of a ...
