Translation of: L'extraordinaire voyage du fakir qui était resté coincé dans une armoire Ikea.

Translated from the French.

Meet Ajatashatru Oghash Rathod. One day a fakir leaves his small village in India and lands in Paris. A professional con artist, the fakir is on a pilgrimage to IKEA, where he intends to obtain an object he covets above all others: a brand-new bed of nails. Without adequate euros in the pockets of his silk trousers, the fakir is all the same confident that his counterfeit 100-Euro note (printed on one side only) and his usual bag of tricks will suffice. But when a swindled cab driver seeks his murderous revenge, the fakir embarks on a European tour, fatefully beginning in the wardrobe of the iconic Swedish retailer.

Humorous fiction.
