| Summary | "The Three Sapphires" by William Alexander Fraser is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in India, centering around characters such as Lord Victor Gilfain and Prince Ananda, set against a backdrop filled with intrigue and local mythology surrounding three sacred sapphires. As the narrative begins, readers are introduced to a world rich with cultural references, personal dynamics, and hints of mystery that propel the plot. At the start of the novel, we find Lord Victor and Captain Swinton enjoying a moment on the balcony of Prince Ananda’s palace, overlooking the city of Darpore. The conversation flows between the characters, revealing glimpses into their backgrounds and hinting at deeper themes involving caste, imperialism, and the mystical allure of Indian culture. As they proceed to dinner, a sapphire linked to an African elephant’s bell becomes a focal point, raising questions about its significance and prompting discussions about the legends associated with the lost treasures of the buried city. The opening sets a tone of adventure and enigma, promising an engaging blend of action and cultural commentary as the story develops. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
