Synopsis

First published in 1935, this trilogy is set in exotic 16th-century India and records a succession of dynastic struggles during the reign of Akbar the great Mogul. It is an absorbing story of war, betrayal, intrique, and political power, as well as a moving study of the spiritual strenghts and weaknesses of Myer's characters. "An exciting exotic adventure story...a remarkbable work of imagination."--Iris Murdoch

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Set in the war-torn world of Mughal India and first published in the gathering darkness of the 1930s, the three novels collected in The Root and the Flower are stories of intrigue, murder, and romance; of Tantric abandonment and Buddhist renunciation; of emotional delirium and spiritual adventure. This enthralling visionary trilogy is, as Penelope Fitzgerald remarks in her introduction, a "strange masterpiece," and one of the unsung glories of modern literature.
