I had only one talent, you know. Misuse a gift, and you destroy it... But the world isn't exclusively a place for the pursuit of sensual pleasure. No, But I was a sensualist. There was nothing else I could pursue. The sensualist is the story of a man enslaved by his libido and spiralling towards self-destruction. Gripping, erotic, even brutal, the book explores the demons that its protagonist must grapple with before he is able to come to term with himself. In this powerful and bold account of the pleasures and perils that attend a young man's coming of age, Ruskin Bond displays his felicity in exploring the dark aspects of the human psyche. A compelling read, The Sensualist is a must-have for all Ruskin Bond fans.
