Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glimpses of Hidden India "It must be sad to visit a country where the English are so much disliked." So said a Russian officer, who had been through the siege of Port Arthur. I looked at him with astonishment; but said nothing, for I had always heard that the Russians desire to replace the English in India, and I thought that the sad-eyed officer, who wore deep mourning, was prejudiced by national aspirations and jealousies. We were returning from Kandy, having visited there the Temple of the Sacred Tooth; and we carried on a desultory conversation in the train. "Where are you going to?" he asked. "India," I replied. And then he said, in French, the words with which I open this book - words so true, so sad, and, at the present time, so full of significance.
