Synopsis "Letters From Malabar: And? On the Way? A Historical Glimpse of India at the Start of the 20Th Century (Hardcover)"
Traveler and writer Henry Bruce details the culture and qualities of the Malabar coast of India, as it was during the rule of the British Raj. Bruce begins by reflecting upon the beauty of Malabar?s land, the serenity and unspoiled nature of the countryside, which is scarcely mentioned in the travel guidebooks of his era. Having spent a time touring and appreciating the region, he expresses his wish to bring its charms to a greater audience. Throughout the text, the author praises the hospitality rendered him: though old-fashioned, he finds the manner and customs of the locals charming. Describing the various locales, the reader discovers how Thrissur (rendered by Bruce in its Anglicized form as ?Trichur?) appeared at the start of the 20th century. Though prosperous, the region was not ostentatious, with Bruce reporting a conviviality between the classes. The efficiency of the local administration, and the beauty of its temples and architecture, are amply noted.
