Shiben
Юноша по имени Сидхарта вынужден после смерти отца уйти из медицинского колледжа и искать работу. Всюду, куда он ни обращается, он видит толпы таких же молодых людей — неглупых, здоровых, но доведенных до отчаяния безработицей и нищетой. Каждая беседа с чиновниками, отбирающими служащих для предприятий, представляет собой род допроса. В одном месте Сидхарту спросили, какое событие, по его мнению, самое важное за последнее десятилетие. «Война во Вьетнаме, сэр»,— не задумываясь, отвечает юноша. «Важнее полета на Луну — удивляется чиновник и, не дослушав ответа, перебивает — Вы коммунист» — «Разве для того, чтобы восхищаться Вьетнамом, надо быть коммунистом» — недоумевает Сидхарта. Он далек от коммунистического движения, далек вообще от какого-либо активного участия в общественной жизни. Он — обыкновенный юноша, сохраняющий еще идеалистические представления о жизни и ужасающийся бездне горя и грязи, открывшейся перед ним в процессе тщетных поисков работы.
