Title : The Nabob - Irène Frain - Book Summary : A remarkable power of evocation and a wealth of content... Irène Frain has so immersed herself in the countries, the art, the customs, the superstitions of India, that she superbly introduces us to the heart of this other world whose prestige she has experienced." Jacqueline Piatier, Le Monde. His name was René Madec. He wanted wealth because he was poor, and ambition drove him because he was beggarly. This little cabin boy, originally from Quimper, had, in the 18th century, an incredible destiny, such as no buccaneer, no condottiere dared to dream of. As a teenager, he arrived in rags on the docks of Pondicherry and became, in less than twenty years, a lord of the country. A nabob. This is the story of his loves and the passion that united him with the Princess of Godh in palaces and caravanserais. Here are armies raised, raided campaigns, royal elephants, sepoys and cannons. But also here is the much-coveted India, spices, pearls and bazaars, refined rajahs, harems and amorous rites, hookah, betel and gods by the thousands. Every page, every scene of this extraordinary novel brilliantly illuminates this piece of our history, the epic of French India led at breakneck speed by the man whom Breton songs still call "the man from afar".
