==Overview==<br />
The 2009 novel received considerable acclaims from critics for its unprecedented incorporation of many ''global'' historical characters and knowledge available to the present Malayalam readers for weaving the story line.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140811164308/http://www.currentbooks.com/francis-itty-cora-to-release-in-english-soon.html ]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scoopeye.com/showNews.php?news_id%3D4570 |access-date=14 May 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101220051658/http://scoopeye.com/showNews.php?news_id=4570|title=ഇട്ടിക്കോരയും മലയാള നോവലും |archive-date=20 December 2010 }}</ref> Like ''[[The Journeyer]]'' the novel deals with the exploration of a merchant named ''Francis Itty Cora'', hailing from the [[Kerala]] of 15th century. Among the historical characters include [[Vasco da Gama]] and [[Hypatia]]. The current global knowledge include [[Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse]] and ''primacy'' of [[Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics|Kerala school of mathematics]]. Like ''[[The Da Vinci Code]]'', this novel is of Christian background and tries to convince the reader an alternative possibility of what happened in the past in the [[Saint Thomas Christians|Nazrani]] community of [[Malabar Coast|Malabar]].<br />
