About This Book

Relato de viaje que combina observaciones detalladas de costumbres urbanas y rurales con descripciones de paisajes y fauna en India, Ceilán, Sudán, Nubia y Egipto. El autor evoca la vida en hoteles y bazares, la presencia de criados y aves urbanas, ritos y festivales religiosos, prácticas devocionales y sacrificios, además de plantaciones de té y canela, encuentros con reptiles y grandes mamíferos, y jardines y templos notables como los de Kandy, con procesiones de elefantes y una reliquia sagrada. Se alternan anécdotas naturales y etnográficas con reflexiones sobre la fe y la ineficacia de la represión violenta frente a las creencias populares.
