Synopsis
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.

À propos de l?auteur
Patrick O’Brian was born in 1914 and published his first book, Caesar, when he was only fifteen. In the 1960s he began work on the idea that, over the next four decades, evolved into the twenty-novel long Aubrey–Maturin series (with an extra unfinished volume published posthumously). In 1995 he was awarded the CBE, and in 1997 he received an honorary doctorate of letters from Trinity College, Dublin. He died in January 2000 at the age of 85.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. From the bestelling author of e comes a hilarious and moving novel of a very normal life becoming extraordinary Murrays living life to the full and it might just kill him. Hes started telling the truth at work. Hes borrowed a stack of cash from a man with a gun, a speech impediment and no grasp whatsoever of APR. Hes also taking drugs and God help him hes started dancing. Badly. To trance. And now hes on the run with a human version of Muttley and a teenage girl called Fish. Which is strange, because a few weeks ago Murray didnt even burn the candle at one end. But when his doctors tell him he has only months to live, he gives his boring old self the boot, relaunches a new, improved Murray and falls in love with a passion he didnt know was in him. His old self, of course, would tell him hes digging his own grave. But hell be needing one of those soon enough anyway, wont he? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR000584446
