À propos de cet e-book

One of the BBC's '100 Novels that Shaped the World'

The Far Pavilions is the story of an English man - Ashton Pelham-Martyn - brought up as a Hindu. It is the story of his passionate, but dangerous love for Juli, an Indian princess. It is the story of divided loyalties, of friendship that endures till death, of high adventure and of the clash between East and West.

To the burning plains and snow-capped mountains of this great, humming continent, M.M. Kaye brings her exceptional gifts of storytelling and meticulous historical accuracy, plus her insight into the human heart.

'Magnificent' Evening Standard

'A long, romantic adventure story of the highest calibre . . . wildly exciting' Daily Telegraph

Notes et avis

Magnifique roman. Quelle épopée à travers l'Inde, que ce soit un roman riche d'évènements historiques, ses paysages, cette culture, c'est aussi une grande histoire d'amour. Non seulement ce livre est magnifique mais aussi un voyage à travers l'Inde. A découvrir et lire sans modération. Bo ne lecture en perspective....
