Tara A Mahratta Tale

About the Book:-This book is a unique work. There is nothing like it in the English literature of fiction. No other writer has ever attempted the portrayal of Indian life, society, and interests, entirely free from any European admixture of character or incident. The author himself now does so for the first time. It is seldom that we meet with a work of fiction executed with anything like the conscientious care and minute elaboration of the author’s Indian Tale. The scenes and characters which the author has endeavored to depict in this book will be necessarily new and strange to you; but if they excite interest in the native annals of a country of which he finds but little real knowledge existing, the object of the work will have been attained. The work throughout is evidently that of a master of Oriental life and character in love with his subject, to whom nothing appears trivial or beneath notice that can illustrate the peculiar traits of Asiatic nature, or kindle an enthusiasm for knowing more of the history, manners, and usages of our fellow-subjects in the east. Moreover, this is a historical fiction set amidst the time when the collision between the Mughals and the Marathas in 1657. This book is the 1st in a trilogy written by him set amidst three major events in the annals of Indian history and were separated by exactly a century from the next. The events are 1657-Mughals Vs. Marathas, 1757-Battle of Plassey, and 1857-the Great Indian Mutiny.
