Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Burnt Offering "You cant get in here, Baboo. There isn´t room." The train was standing in the little pink station of Pubni, on its way to Calcutta. A lean old man with water in a goat-skin slaked the platform with a flourishing jet from his fingers, and the afternoon sun slanted on the purple bougain-villiers over the gate-posts of the station-master´s garden. It was a warm, gentle, still halting-place; between the grunts of the pausing engine a bee buzzed audibly in the bougain-villiers; and a crow in a pipal across the lines seemed to deliver himself for the whole district. "How many persons are in this carriage, sir?" "Never mind about that, Baboo. There isn´t room, for you." The young man spoke good-naturedly enough, but he definitely barred the entrance with the lower half of a leg in flannel trousers, and a foot in a brown leather hoot. He had not taken the trouble to shut the door. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
