Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Radiantly delightful'Evelyn WaughThis highly entertaining and moving journal chronicles J.R. Ackerley's five-month stay as the Private Secretary to the Maharajah of Chhokrapur. Knowing almost nothing of India, he discovers Hindu culture, festivals and language, and reveals the fascinating attitudes of the Palace staff - themselves depicted with humour and occasional infuriation - on women, marriage, the caste system and death. Also here are mocking portraits of the Maharajah's British guests, who gravely warn Ackerley not to 'go indian'. But at the heart of Hindoo Holiday is the wonderfully unpredictable figure of His Highness the Maharajah Sahib who, ultimately, just wants 'someone to love him'. Describes a Maharajah's eccentric habits and riddling conversations, and the odd shambling day-to-day life of his court. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780141189253
