Publisher's Synopsis

""Silence of the Maharajah"" is a novel written by Marie Corelli. The story is set in India during the British Raj era and revolves around the life of a young Indian prince, Prince Zafar. The prince is a kind and gentle soul who is deeply spiritual and has a strong connection to nature. He falls in love with a beautiful British woman named Muriel, but their love is forbidden due to the social and cultural differences between them. The novel explores the themes of love, spirituality, and the clash of cultures. It also sheds light on the political and social issues of the time, such as the British colonization of India and the struggle for Indian independence. As the story progresses, Prince Zafar becomes increasingly disillusioned with the corruption and materialism of the ruling classes, and he begins to withdraw from society. His silence and detachment lead to rumors and speculation about his mental state, and he is eventually confined to a mental institution. The novel ends with a powerful message about the importance of love, spirituality, and cultural understanding. It is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged story that will leave readers reflecting on the complexities of human nature and the challenges of living in a multicultural world.One of Corelli's more rare short stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
