Paperback. Condition: New. 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 Booker Prize-winining novel. The story is set in an isolated Victorian outpost on the Indian 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 to fall under the shadows of the follies of empire. 344p.
