I am the wings

4.9/5 (22311 ratings)

Description:The Hindu RAIG, just released from prison, even his old friends are cold, making him feel that the task of regaining his position as a leading barrister is impossible. So when he finds awaiting him a letter from his brother, a tea planter in Ceylon, he decides to go out to see him. But on reaching Colombo, Owen learns that his brother and the latter's Socttish partner are missing.The Search for the two men takes Owen first to the afforested low Country steeped in superstition and Black Magic, then to the lonely 7,000 ft. Sambhur Plains. It also brings him into contact with many types of people - and not least the mercurial daughter of the missing Scot; the Kandyan chief, Tissa, and his irresponsible son Anil. But above all it is the Hindu mystic who helps Craig to come to terms with himself. For in the quest for his brother, Owen achieves a new, inner strength.This is a thrilling story. I have read it and re-read it with great enjoyment, enhanced by some acquaintance with part of the mise-en-scene, so vividly portrayed by the author. The terrible storms alternating with the peaceful warmth of cloudless skies, the lush exuberance of jungle scarred by barren crags make a Picture which recalls to me the Memory of the most beautiful and romantic island in the world. They also provide an inimitable setting for a tense human drama, unfolded amongst Europeans, Sinhalese and Tamils against a background of primitive Magic and mystery. It would be almost impossible for anyone to read this remarkable Novel without feeling an urge to see for himself the people and the country described in it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
