Présentation Hussein de Patrick O'Brian Format Broché
- Livre
Résumé : A glittering adventure set in India at the height of the British Raj. The New York Times compared Patrick O'Brian's early novel to Kipling's Kim and called it a gorgeous entertainment. Published when he was in his early twenties, Patrick O'Brian writes of Hussein: In the writing of the book I learnt the rudiments of my calling: but more than that, it opened a well of joy that has not yet run dry. Hussein is a young mahout-or elephant handler-who falls in love with a beautiful and elusive girl, Sashiya, and arranges for another of her suitors to be murdered with a fakir's curse. The dead man's relatives vow vengeance. Hussein escapes and his adventures begin: snake-charming, sword-fighting, spying, stealing a fortune, and returning triumphantly to claim his bride. All of this is set against an evocatively exotic India, full of bazaars, temples, and beautiful women- despite the fact that O'Brian had never been to the East when he wrote the story.
