About This Book

A comic framed narrative presented as an edited manuscript recounts the extravagant adventures of Chunder Bindabun Bhosh, a young Indian gentleman in Britain, whose misadventures range from a stormy sea voyage to eccentric Cambridge society incidents, duels, equestrian mishaps, and a sensational race and finish. The tone blends farce and gentle satire of social customs, and the volume concludes with a set of translated parables and humorous notes that punctuate the episodic structure.
