Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from India Under Royal Eyes The title of this book proclaims at once its privileges and its limitations. It offers a picture of India which but a score of men in a generation have a chance of seeing, a picture of the old romantic magnificent India, which it is very possible may never be again on view. On the other hand, so disturbing is the influence of a Royal Progress, that its chronicler is glad to be able to plead it, even in a title, in extenuation of his deficiencies. There is a dislocation, a disintegration almost, in the life of every place on which the honour of entertaining Royalty may fall. Not only does it break out in flags - though that may be sufficiently distressing - but it breaks out in itself; it becomes a sort of decorated and accentuated, and often an anything but improved version of what it commonly is. Its own social standards are nailed up for display, just like the dreary bits of bunting that deface the roadway. The display is of real interest, but its value is for the novelist, the serious student of humanity; its effects are merely confusing to the circumforanean observer.
