Publisher's Synopsis
"The Poorest Man in Babylon: A Tale of Feathers, Fortune, and a Depressed Chicken Who Changed Everything"
In the once-glorious city of Babylon, where gold flowed like water and greed ruled the land, one man stood out-not for his wealth, but for his utter lack of it. Meet Arkad, The Poorest Man in Babylon, a down-on-his-luck handyman with a knack for bad decisions and a chicken named Penelope who might just be the most existential bird in history.
When Arkad seeks financial advice from the richest moneylender in Babylon, he unwittingly sets off a chain of events that will change the fate of the city forever. From absurd animal beauty contests to tyrannical queens and a rebellion led by a brooding chicken, this hilarious and heartwarming tale is a wild ride through the ancient world, filled with humor, heart, and a surprising amount of poultry-related drama.
Join Arkad, his extravagant friend Bansa, and the ever-melancholic Penelope as they navigate the highs and lows of life in Babylon. Along the way, they'll learn valuable lessons about wealth, friendship, and the true meaning of happiness-all while trying not to get turned into soup.
