In The Village Youths and the Wealthy Banker, Zechariah Manyok Biar weaves a vivid, allegorical tale of two intertwined worlds - the humble pastoral village of Duomduom and the prosperous town of Nhomlaau. When Duomduom's milk mysteriously vanishes, the crisis exposes not only economic exploitation but the widening moral and generational rift between tradition and ambition. Through lyrical prose and immersive cultural detail, Biar explores themes of justice, leadership, and the corrupting lure of power as the village youth rise under a charismatic leader to confront a wealthy banker accused of deceit. What begins as a local dispute becomes a profound reflection on greed, unity, and the cost of progress. Both cautionary and deeply human, The Village Youths and the Wealthy Banker captures the struggle between innocence and ambition, faith and disillusionment - a powerful parable for our times.
