Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Later India Novels Part A contains two novels, Beggars' Horses, published in America in 1943, after Wren's death, as The Dark Woman, and Explosion which never saw an American publication. Beggars' Horses is the story of six British army officers who have a confrontation with an Indian f…akir or Holy Man. The six officers are asked what they would 'wish' for. One asks for great strength, the others ask to be healthy, to live a long life, for happiness, for great wealth, and for great courage. The rest of the story is how the six men obtain their wishes and how 'a dark woman' interacts with them. Explosion deals with a plot by Indian agitators to use a large bomb to kill British officials and destroy several buildings: a literal explosion. The main characters are Anthony Steele, the Superintendent of Police, and Betty Gopaldas, an young English woman married to an Indian, who is one of the group of agitators planning the explosion. With Betty, being infatuated with Steele, he is able to persuade her to help him uncover the bomb plot. There are minor plots about British society in an Indian city during the British Raj, and Wren is able to convey the thoughts and feelings of a strong Imperialist in favor of British rule.

First edition. Signed by Wren and with his bookplate. 8vo. 187x120mm. pp. 464, [4pp publisher's list]. Original red cloth lettered in gilt to upper cover and spine. Lacking the scarce dust jacket but the striking front cover of this has been pasted onto the front free endpaper. Fading and soiling to spine and some slight foxing…but otherwise in excellent condition throughout. Front pastedown has the armorial bookplate of Wren which is signed by the author. The title page is stamped with the name "F.N.Ablewhite". Wren's purpose in this colonial adventure novel can perhaps be best summed up by reference to its dedication to the "Friends of India, the real India of three hundred million unrepresented peasants, whose sole "political aspirations" are that the peace, the security, the justice, and the protection provided by the British Raj may for ever remain to them undisturbed, unweakened and unchanged".
