Omschrijving

Hilda: A Story of Calcutta is a novel written by Sara Jeannette Duncan and first published in 1898. The story follows the life of Hilda Howe, a young Canadian woman who travels to Calcutta, India, to live with her uncle and aunt. As Hilda adjusts to life in a new and unfamiliar culture, she becomes increasingly interested in the social and political issues of the time, including the plight of Indian women and the struggles of the Indian National Congress. She also becomes involved in a romantic relationship with a young Englishman named George Ramsay. Through Hilda's experiences and observations, the novel explores themes of colonialism, gender roles, and cultural clashes. It also offers a vivid portrayal of life in Calcutta during the late 19th century, including the city's bustling streets, colorful markets, and opulent mansions. Overall, Hilda: A Story of Calcutta is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on the complexities of colonialism and cultural exchange in the late Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
