This literary work is purely the author's imagination, disconnected from reality, and there is no consistency in any events, interactions or characters with the truth, as they are all the product and production of the necessities of the plot... The work as a whole is like a journey in which the reader is transported for a moment from his world to an atmosphere of excitement, terror, espionage, love and adventure, in the region of South Asia, which is different from us in some things and identical in others... But it is the human being... Here and there he is the origin of the subject, the final word and the structure of the novel... He is the crux of the matter... with his love and hate, loyalty and treachery, tolerance and nobility of his intentions or malice of his nature!!... He is the human being and that's it.
