The Morning of the Mogul
A Novel of Intrigue, Betrayal, and Absurdity
What if an ordinary morning saw you torn from your desk, stripped of your identity, and thrust into the heart of a conspiracy you'd never imagined existed?
Bassam Bourasin leads a quiet life as a diligent-if rather peculiar-bank clerk in the modest Tunisian town of 'Ouja. Without warning, he's arrested, rechristened "Prisoner 1007", and imprisoned in a menacing "State hotel"-little more than a luxurious cage housing fallen ministers, corrupt financiers, and hardened felons.
Within this bizarre maze, Bassam must navigate kitchen black-marketeers, a towering inmate known as Frankenstein, and a psychiatrist whose treatment proves more disturbing than any ailment. Tormented by memories of his mother and fiancee, lost in a tragic incident back home, he grows increasingly convinced that his detention forms part of a conspiracy stretching to the very pinnacles of power. Armed only with his wits, his innocence, and a simple notebook, he transforms into an unlikely spy, recording every whispered code and secret corridor in his quest for truth.
Why You'll Find It Impossible to Put Down
Political satire collides with psychological thriller against the tumultuous backdrop of revolution.
A scalpel-sharp examination of identity: when your name vanishes, what remains of who you are?
Darkly comic brilliance reminiscent of Kafka or Orwell, exposing the razor's edge between reason and madness.
A labyrinthine conspiracy involving clandestine societies and "mind-hackers" where absolutely nothing proves to be as it appears.
Ideal for Readers Who Relish
Orwell's 1984 or Kafka's The Trial
Wickedly humorous political machinations
Tales that challenge reality, fate, and liberty-for in Bassam's universe, all is Mektub (predestined).
Will Bassam uncover the truth and reclaim his existence, or merely become another casualty in an unseen empire's game? Plunge into The Morning of the Mogul and discover the answer for yourself.
