Produktbeschreibung

G.A. Henty's historical fiction, With Clive in India, describes the period between the arrival of Clive in India and the end of his career and is lively in the extreme. Initially, the English were traders who relied on the acceptance of nearby princes; they were experts of Bengal and much of southern India.The author has given a full record of the events of that exciting time. The book follows real historical events, revolving around the battles, attacks, and military campaigns of Robert Clive in mid-18th century India, when the English, Dutch, and French East India organisations were all competing for business and regional authority in the profitable Indian subcontinent.

Autorenporträt

George Alfred Henty (1832 - 1902) was a prolific English novelist and war correspondent. He is best known for his historical adventure stories that were popular in the late 19th century. His works include The Dragon & The Raven (1886), For The Temple (1888), Under Drake's Flag (1883) and In Freedom's Cause (1885). Henty once related in an interview how his storytelling skills grew out of tales told after dinner to his children. He wrote his first children's book, Out on the Pampas in 1868, naming the book's main characters after his children. While most of the 122 books he wrote were for children, he also wrote adult novels, non-fiction such as The March to Magdala and Those Other Animals, short stories for the likes of The Boy's Own Paper and edited the Union Jack, a weekly boy's magazine.
