"Suspense and subtlety, humour and horror, the near-neighbourliness of heroism and insanity: it is rare to find such divergent elements being controlled in one hand and being raced, as it were, in one yoke. But Farrell manages just this here: his imaginative insight and technical virtuosity combine to produce a novel of quite outstanding quality."
-- The Times (London)
A novel set in India in the mid-nineteenth century takes readers to the far outposts of empire where rumors of war often materialize into actual combat, focusing on a British colonial community that finds itself, and its "superior" Victorian values, under siege. Winner of the 1973 Booker Prize. Reprint.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Winner of the booker prize.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 'The Siege of Krishnapur,' widely considered one of the finest British novels of the last fifty years.Farrell's story is set in an isolated Victorian outpost on the 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. 'The Siege of Krishnapur' is a companion to 'Troubles,' about the Easter 1916 rebellion in Ireland, and 'The Singapore Grip,' which takes place just before World War II, as the sun begins to set upon the British Empire. Together these three novels offer an unequaled picture of the follies of empire. Artikel-Nr. 9781590170922
