Anything I mention about the book can be mistakenly understood as ’spoilers’, so I would rather
give a glance into the book without mentioning any events or plots of the story.
Swami is a mischievous little kid of about 10 years old and living in the era where India was under
the British rule… Like most kids of that age, Swami is a kid who cannot stay at one place and
absolutely hates school, even worse Mathematics. School is his absolute nightmare. Anyway the
story unfolds around the happenings of this kid and how he constantly gets into trouble and gets a
good beating from his father.
Swami is a talkative little kid and thinks that’s his way of facing life, talking himself out of
everything. But he does learn the truth the harsh way. As many teens back then, all he wants to do is
play under the sun, kick something, climb a tree, break something and harass somebody . This, in fact, was the life of a typical boy growing up.
Technology isn’t big in a kid’s life. All they want is to play havoc!!!
In what ways is Swami a typical boy in his growing years?
In this regard, Narayan gets deeply into the workings of Swami’s ten year old mind, explaining
exquisitely how he thinks and what his perspective of the world is. The reader does feel like Swami
and gets very attached with the character as the story progresses. That’s the magic of Narayan.
Significance of the book…
‘Swami and friends’ by R. K. Narayan is not merely an interesting read that could be enjoyed from
top to bottom, but the work attributes a lot of literary values even if it is a teen book.
‘Swami and Friends’ is a good read for the kids and teens alike. Also the book is widely used in the
Asian continent as a study text for the students who study literature as a subject at schools. This
does not mean that the book is filled with heavy grammar and technical jargon. Actually the truth is
in contrary to this.
Swami and friends is written in such simple English it is to imagine that it is a work of such a
literary genius like R. K. Narayan. The English used in the book is both plain simple, without any
troubling words for the kids. Also the use of simple and short sentences adds to the simplicity of the
book.
