In the mid-nineteenth century, the oppressed peoples of Hindustan rose up to fight against their enslavers, the British. The colonizers stifled any expression of free thought, the townspeople and peasants were imposed unbearable taxes; cruel famine year after year killed millions of inhabitants of British India. In the masses of the people, among the urban poor, among the peasants and the sipayas, the Indian soldiers in the service of the British. This rebellion broke out in 1857. After reading the novel, you will learn how the British colonizers applied in India the ancient rule of the Roman emperors: "Divide and conquer" - how they preserved and encouraged the division of people into castes. The powerless untouchables did the blackest, hardest work for beggarly wages.
The author beautifully presents the generous tropical nature of South Asian islands and fabulous landscapes of India.
