Cherish and the Duke (The Silver Dukes, Book 1)

Bombay, 1825. On a journey from Madras to Bombay, Harrison Dean falls victim to the ghastly rites of the Goddess Kali. But his death sets in motion a train of events which will take the East India Company to the height of its territorial glory. For the thugs were commanded by Prince Batraj, cousin and rival of Rajah Sitraj of Sittapore - and Rajah Sitraj was in love with Harrison Dean's niece. Laura Dean was the toast of Bombay, but also considered by many to be a woman of dubious virtue. Her marriage to the Rajah of Sittapore elevated her to wealth and power, but also created jealousy and anger, and her prosperity depended upon the health of her husband. When Sitraj breaks his neck on the polo field, Laura finds herself the plaything of Indian politics. She is hurried from state to state by the restless, ruthless, amorous Batraj, seeking always an alliance to drive the British out of India. She is forced to commit acts which will turn the entire European community against her. All but one... Only Captain Guy Bartlett retains his love for her.

Prefatory Note Masterman Ready is the first, the most famous, and certainly the best of the short series of stories for children which Marryat began, comparatively late in life, under the impression that his former productions, like all novels, had had their day, and for the present, at least, would sell no more. He anticipated, and secured, a little income from these juveniles. In his preface, printed below, he expounds the origin of the tale ;and no one will be inclined to dispute the advance in correctness on The Swiss Family Robinson, to which he lays claim. Indeed the treatment of a well-worn subject is surprisingly fresh and convincing. The hypercritical reader may cavil at the thoughtfulness of the seawaves in washing ashore the very articles required for comfort, and no one can fail to resent the excess of righteousness in old Ready; but these are small blemishes in a work so really interesting and so admirably executed. It is exactly suited for children, abounding in detail, simple in conception, and pathetic without being melancholy. The style of direct narration is perfectly clear and attractive, without foolish condescension. Were there no external evidence of the fact, we could be confident from a study of this volume, that Marryat loved children and understood them. The death of Ready, through Tommy sselfishness, is artistically inevitable, and told without sentimentality. For ourselves, however, we confess to finding that greedy boys naughtiness in most cases peculiarly unattractive and scarcely amusing.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don\'t occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books\' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writing --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
