關於這本電子書

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
