| Description: |
This book includes curious stories of the people who inhabited the exotic and vanished world of Nawabi Lucknow, especially the many rogues and villains, some of them British. Using material not used before and containing a number of previousy unpublished illustrations, it takes a look at the undiscovered side of Nawabi Lucknow. |
| Synopsis: |
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the northern Indian city of Lucknow was famous for its beautiful gardens, extraordinary buildings, menageries, music and dancing, exquisite food, and lavish parties. The wealthy nawabs were only part of a glittering scene that enchanted and shocked both visitors and inhabitants. Here, Rosie Llewellyn-Jones examines some of the more curious byways of this city's past, including the true story of the notorious 'Barber of Lucknow' and the sad history of the European graveyards. Filled with stories and featuring many recently rediscovered illustrations, the book will appeal to general readers and historians of the period. |
