Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. She was born in India to the lowest caste, a group with few rights and even fewer prospects. Enduring cruel poverty, Phoolan Devi survived the humiliation of an abusive marriage, the savage killing of her bandit-lover and horrifying gang rape to claim retribution for herself and all low-caste women of the Indian plains. In a three-year campaign that rocked the government, she delivered justice to rape victims and stole from the rich to give to the poor, before negotiating surrender on her own terms. Throughout her years of imprisonment without trial, Phoolan Devi remained a beacon of hope for the poor and the downtrodden. In 1996, amidst both popular support and media controversy, she was elected to the Parliament. Clean, with no defects- a hardcover book that looks new but has been read. Cover has no visible wear, and the dust jacket is included. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, and no underlining/highlighting of text or writing in the margins.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 8vo., x, 244pp., illustrations from photographs, original cloth gilt. A fine clean copy in a fine pictorial dustwrapper. Phoolan Devi (1963 2001), popularly known as "Bandit Queen", was an Indian dacoit and later a politician. After becoming estranged from her family, a young Phoolan became the moll of the leader of a group of a bandits. A few years later, during an internecine struggle for gang leadership, her paramour was killed and Phoolan was gang-raped. She then took up banditry in her own right and became a joint-leader, along with her then lover, of a section of the divided gang. Phoolan authorised the Behmai massacre of 1981, killing 22 upper-caste villagers, including two people who had abetted or witnessed (but not participated in) her gang-rape. Following this massacre, she became notorious nation-wide and was lionized as India's only woman bandit and supposedly gutsy low-caste-woman-underdog. She later surrendered and was tried for complicity in over 30 instances of murder and numerous other crimes. The trials were never concluded because the state government, in a controversial act, withdrew all cases against her; Phoolan, who had remained in jail for 11 years during the pendency of the trials, was released. She then contested elections as a candidate of the Samajwadi Party, whose government had withdrawn the cases against her, and was elected to parliament. She was then murdered by former rival bandits whose kin had been murdered by her or at her behest. Some people believe that most of Phoolan's crimes were committed seeking justice for women's suffering, particularly those in the lowest castes; however, the Indian authorities consider this a complete myth.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First edition. Hardback. After being tortured and raped for 23 days by the killers of her bandit lover, a young Indian woman set out on a path of revenge. Phoolan Devi - Goddess of Flowers - escaped from her captors and formed her own band of 'dacoits', masterminding a massacre on St. Valentine's Day 1981, which ended in the deaths of 20 villagers. Never before in Indian history had so many high caste Hindus died at the unclean hands of their inferiors. From that day, Devi was on the run, fostering a violent and romantic legend, robbing from the rich to give to the poor. Hiding in snake-infested ravines, she eluded capture for 2yrs despite police ambushes and gun battles which left many dead. She became revered as one who had cast off oppression and had resurrected a mythical golden age when women were free from the restraints of Hinduism. Married against her will at the age of 11 to an old man who already had a wife, Devi finally ran away with a group of bandits whose leader was to become her lover. During her reign as the Dacoit Queen, police put a large reward on her head, but despite many attempts to capture her she always managed to shoot her way to freedom. Once the running was over, Phoolan Devi sat in jail awaiting trial for murder after a dramatic surrender ceremony when, dressed in a khaki uniform and a red bandanna, she handed over her rifle to a government minister and kissed his feet.

8° , O.Pp., mit Schutzumschlag. 1. Aufl. 540 S. Buch in guter Erhaltung, Einband sauber und unbestoßen, Seiten hell und sauber, leichte Lagerspuren. Tiziano Terzani (* 14. September 1938 in Florenz; 28. Juli 2004 in Pistoia-Orsigna) war ein italienischer Journalist und Schriftsteller. Der Journalist und Schriftsteller Tiziano Terzani hat 30 Jahre lang für den SPIEGEL aus Asien berichtet. "In Asien" ist die Essenz seiner Erfahrungen. Immer vor Ort berichtet der Spiegel-Journalist in seiner eigenen hintergründigen Art, u.a. vom militärischen Engagement der USA in Vietnam, dem Fall Pnom Penhs, von der Niederschlagung des Aufstands am Platz des himmlischen Friedens, von der Übergabe Hongkongs an die Chinesen oder dem Phänomen der indischen "Räuberhauptfrau" Phoolan Devi. Persönliche Porträts von Mutter Teresa, dem Dalai Lama, vom japanischen Kaiser Hirohito und dem chinesischen Machtpolitiker Deng Xiao Ping verdeutlichen das weite Spektrum asiatischer Lebenserfahrung. Schöne und grausame Eindrücke entfalten sich: die Friedfertigkeit thailändischer Buddhisten neben der Schreckensherrschaft der Roten Khmer und dem gnadenlosen Kodex japanischer Geheimgesellschaften. 0 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1050.
