Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

�valuation du vendeur 5 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers to the exotic setting of Singapore, where the British Empireâ� �s influence clashes with ancient traditions. We are introduced to Maud Anderby, a young woman whose life is about to be entangled with the world of colonial society, racing, and the machinations of the secret police. The authorâ� �s keen eye for detail paints a vivid picture of the cultural mix of Singapore, from the bustling bazaars to the opulent bungalows of the British elite. The book delves into the complexities of identity in a colonial context, as exemplified by the character of A. Archibald Podd, a mysterious figure who claims to be a British subject but whose origins are shrouded in uncertainty. We see the tension between the colonial mindset and the ways of the East, as personified by the enigmatic and culturally sensitive Lochinvar MWhizzle, the Chief of the Secret Police. The author uses humor to explore the absurdity and hypocrisy inherent in colonial rule, while also revealing the stark contrasts between European and Asian ways of life. Through a thrilling narrative, the book weaves together the worlds of racing, intrigue, and the exotic East, offering a glimpse into a fascinating era of colonial history and its lasting cultural impact. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331768111_0
