Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. John Lynsdale was born to be the King of England. Deprived of his birthright by a weak father and a scheming woman, John follows his repetitive dream to India, a land of opportunity riven by little men squabbling for power. In Britain, too, the restless Scots want their own king, the common people are miserable and the hostile kingdoms of Europe are a looming threat across the narrow English Channel. John Lynsdale's world, 300 years ago, was much like ours today. This is the story of his adventures, the intrigues he faced in the multinational East India Company, his many loves and mystical awakening. In Fort St. George, Madras, he encounters the cold, ruthless, Norbert Kline and, together, they are besieged in a monsoon-drenched fortress and emerge victorious. But when he falls in love with the beautiful Armenian woman, Ann Hawkenian, the petty-minded expatriates in the Fort spurn him for choosing a 'country-born' wife. Lured to Calcutta by a suave mercenary agent, John Lynsdale and Ann then set off to find their dream kingdom in the Himalayas. This is John Lynsdale's swashbuckling story, but is his story History? Perhaps. Sometimes fact and fiction converge curiously.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. 'Mythistory' emerges when a real event becomes enveloped in mystery, revealing a surreal tale that is not quite fact and not quite fiction. Out of the eclectic mix of Mussoorie's society have emerged coruscating tales, each a concoction of truth and imagination. When unexplainable events took place and no one had any credible explanation for them, it was mythistory that filled the gap. These stories have been distilled through the minds of a multitude of people, who have all added their own 'spice' to these tales. With each retelling, the mythistory of Mussoorie has grown, resulting in the strange pearls found in Mussoorie's Mythistory. (jacket). …

Pbk. Harry Potter?s Hogwarts is a magical place But it?s an unreal one it does not exist Hugh and Colleen Gantzer have discovered magical places in India that are real and accessibleWhat is the origin of the fear that a monster lies beneath the surface of the high blue lake of Pangong Tso Who was the Englishman who carved out his own kingdom in the Himalayas What gourmet dish was created by a ruler to feed his famished subjects What is the epic tale of the white shrine where the weapons of a martial saint are reveredThis is not a travelogue or a guide book or even a retelling of ancient folklore It is however a little bit of all three It is a conversation with two well informed people who have travelled and questioned and analysed They are convinced that every legend every custom has grown out of a hard core of fact a historical event whose impact was so great that it was branded into the racial memory of the community It then became encased in multiple layers of mythIn The Alluring North while describing their experiences in their gently evocative style Hugh and Colleen Gantzer also uncover many fascinating gems of other enduring realities that glitter within our ?intriguing India? 172 pp. 109 photographs (illustrator).…

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. Western India is Big. It's Bollywood and Big Business, and Gujarat and its Big Achievements, Goa and its Big Beaches, Madhya Pradesh and its Big Heart. But is that all it is: Big Billboards and Big Hype? Hugh and Colleen Gantzer take a Big Breath and step behind the glare and the glitter and the razzmatazz. They discover an intriguing world: a crater lake dug by a Thing from Outer Space; a cool, green, hill-station where no cars are allowed; deep wells that are beautifully sculpted water pavilions; the only wilderness in the world where the rare Asian Lion still roams free; a walled town in the desert with curiously painted houses; a sacred city where Time is worshipped. This is not just a travel guide. This is an informal conversation with two people who like discovering new places, having new experiences in old places, asking questions, and giving their own, often provocative, answers.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. They are our secret ambassadors. For many millennia they have carried the message of our land throughout the world. These skilled ambassadors have worked their magic in subtle, undercover, ways winning friends and influencing people when they are most open to suggestion, through their most essential of enjoyments. Historically, mankind called on them to celebrate victories, enhance their myriad faiths in raptures of holy smoke, even to enter the bridal chamber and bring fragrance and flavours to the start of a life-long relationship. But these secret ambassadors have not always been gentle and humane. When the need arose to act with decisiveness, they stepped in and tilted the balance. More than the legendary beauty of Helen of Troy, they launched a thousand ships, created the world's greatest empire, discovered a New World, and, following the charge of a mutant called CTM, breached the established bastions of British tradition. And that, as any hardworking plenipotentiary will tell you, is the most difficult, the most jaw-breaking, of all diplomatic assignments. Who, then, are these all-pervasive undercover agents who have always relied on their special 007License to Thrill? Now that we have marinated you, read on Welcome to the secret world of spices.

All four books have been packaged in an attractive slip-cover, giving readers access to ninety-six intriguing Indian destinations. Written in an informal, provocative style, the four books target the new information-hungry, socialmedia generation.

Who were the strange gods who taught, and danced with, the Dahs in the high mountains of Ladakh? Why were the caves of Ajanta first carved? What is the true meaning of a strange painting in a church in Chennai? and Where did the warrior Nagas come from. …
