It is about a young Indian nobleman thrown into exile, Nobile Hispahani found himself on a sugar plantation. A world dominated by Europeans. Through unimaginable circumstances he found himself propelled through the ranks to become the administrator. Some of his friends thought it was possible because he married the daughter of one of the shareholders. others who knew him well knew that it was his grit and determination to succeed and above all never to be subservient to any man. All the workers on the plantation were from India. His main task was to elevate them from the stygian conditions given to them. This was a thankless task. The extra money they earned was spent on buying offerings for the many gods they worshipped. This made him question the existence of God and a relentless debate ensued. In the end. The debate drew no conclusion. His life on the plantation was filled with strikes and rioting from the disenchanted worker. Nobile always was the winner. This story ends with him undecided if he should return to India for a holiday or not.
