Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Flotsam: The Study of a Life The sun was setting behind some palm-trees, and threw golden shafts of light down the ridges of the paddy-fields where the green rice stood lush in water. The Hooghly was stealing past the quiet bungalow built on the bank opposite to the spot where now stands the palace of the King of Oude. The great river flashed and gleamed greasily in the pink haze of Indian sunset, bearing on its sacred bosom sundry mysterious objects half afloat, half submerged. These were the bodies of the elect floating down to that Paradise where no flesh-eating Feringhee will mar the Oriental peace and luxury of life. The year was at its prime - the monsoon was steady. It was June, and eighteen hundred and thirty-one. No bodies float down the Ganges now; for European energy has set aside the religious growth of the ages.
