An insightful and thrilling novel about the British Empire in India during the Great Mutiny of 1957, as seen through the eyes of a young, love-struck idealist.</b></p> <p>India, 1857—the year of the Great Mutiny, when Muslim soldiers turned in bloody rebellion on their British overlords. This time of convulsion is the subject of J. G. Farrell's <i>The Siege of Krishnapur</i>, widely considered one of the finest British novels of the last fifty years.</p> <p>Farrell's story is set in an isolated Victorian outpost on the subcontinent. Rumors of strife filter in from afar, and yet the members of the colonial community remain confident of their military and, above all, moral superiority. But when they find themselves under actual siege, the true character of their dominion—at once brutal, blundering, and wistful—is soon revealed. <i>The Siege of Krishnapur</i> is a companion to <i>Troubles</i>, about the Easter 1916 rebellion in Ireland, and <i>The Singapore Grip</i>, which takes place just before World War II, as the sun begins to set upon the British Empire. Together these three novels offer an unequaled picture of the follies of empire.</p>. Media Type: eBook. Importer Version: 2014-01-08.01 Import Date: 2021-11-17 20:00:03.
