Astonishing the gods Book by Ben Okri

Astonishing the Gods by Ben Okri is a philosophical novel that explores themes of identity, perception, and the essence of existence. The story follows an unnamed young man who, born invisible, embarks on a journey to uncover the secret of his invisibility. His quest leads him to an enchanted island inhabited by beings who are invisible in a different sense—existing beyond the physical realm. The island operates on the principle that every experience must be fully lived to be understood, challenging the protagonist to confront his own perceptions and beliefs. Through encounters with mystical guides and surreal landscapes, he learns that true understanding comes from embracing the unseen and the intangible. Okri's lyrical prose and allegorical storytelling invite readers to reflect on the deeper aspects of reality and self-awareness.
