Synopsis: |
A light read, this book was written by the author, as the name suggests, when he was on vacation recovering from an illness. Being the wanderer that he was, Richard Burton wield his pen and opinion that arouse different feelings in the people who read his works Blunt to the point of being bigoted, he was not one who'd mince his works. The book starts with a description of his voyage to Goa; he then describes the Goan country and people and further touches upon its history from there he continues his travel to visit Calicut, Malabar (in the modern Indian state of Kerala; and Ooty. These areas include the Nilgiri Mountains also called the Blue Mountains. Burtons prolific pen never misses to get down anecdote. The lives of the locals, their customs, their language, the history and other sights and experiences that he under went while on the road. |
