For the British there, life is orderly and genteel. Then the sepoys at the nearest military cantonment rise in revolt and the British community retreats with shock into the Residency. They prepare to fight for their lives with what weapons they can muster. As food and ammunition grow short, the Residency, its defences battered by shot and shell and eroded by the rains, becomes ever more vulnerable. The Siege of Krishnapur is a modern classic of narrative excitement that also digs deep to explore some fundamental questions of civilisation and life.Hide synopsis

Owner's name to front free endpaper. The dust jacket has been clipped but a Weidenfeld and Nicholson sticker has been appended, which could lead one to believe that the price was changed between the original publication date and the appearance of the second impression in December of 1973; however it does rather beg the question of whether this constitutes a price clipping, or if it should be regarded as a legitimate point of issue? Some wear to the extremities of the dust jacket; half-inch tear to top of front joint. One small spot of foxing to the fore-edge of the text block.

This is at once tragic & comic; they were dark days during the British Raj, but the author managed to portray his cast of characters in an amusing way. It sums up the attitude of the times.
