Beschreibung
Originally published in 1901, 'East of Suez' was Alice Perrin's first collection of short stories. Her fascinating and thought-provoking tales of Anglo-Indian life rival the best work of Kipling, and were hugely successful in their day. Perrin tells stories of illicit love against a beautifully-drawn backdrop of the mystical east, interweaving the supernatural with exquisite details of her characters' lives. This scholarly edition includes: a critical introduction; author biography; suggestions for further reading; explanatory notes; contextual material on representations of the British Raj; illustrations from 'The Illustrated London News' and 'The Windsor Magazine'.

Über den Autor
Alice Perrin, also known as Alice Robinson, was a British novelist born on July 15, 1867, in Mussoorie, India. She is best known for her works that explore the lives of the British in colonial India, offering insights into the experiences and challenges of British expatriates during that time. Perrin gained significant success with the publication of her short ghost story collection East of Suez, which helped establish her as a notable writer. Throughout her career, she wrote numerous novels and short stories, often focusing on themes of colonialism, cultural encounters, and the complexities of life in India under British rule. Her works were widely read in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and she became known for her ability to capture the nuances of British life in colonial settings. Alice Perrin passed away on February 13, 1934, in Vevey, Switzerland, at the age of 66. She had one son, Lancelot Charles Perrin. Her legacy endures through her writings, which continue to be a valuable resource for understanding the cultural and social dynamics of the British Empire in India.
