Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set in the exotic backdrop of India, the narrative follows a young mahout named Hussein, whose adventures are sparked by his love for the elusive Sashiya. After orchestrating the murder of a rival suitor through a fakir's curse, Hussein faces the wrath of the dead man's family. His journey unfolds through thrilling escapades, including snake-charming and sword-fighting, as he navigates danger and intrigue to ultimately return and claim his bride. The story captures the vibrancy of Indian culture, despite O'Brian's lack of firsthand experience in the region at the time of writing.
