Pabellones lejanos

Ashton Pelham-Martyn, son of an illustrious English family, is raised in India, at the foot of the sacred mountain range known as the Distant Pavilions. After his mother's death, he returns to England, but longing for his homeland, he later returns to what he considers his roots... And that's where it all begins. Distant Pavilions is a story of loyalties in a 19th century marked by colonial conflicts and regional wars; of friendships that endure until death; of great adventures, and of the timeless clash between East and West. It is also a love story, because Pelham soon meets the Indian princess Juli, and their romance, already difficult due to cultural barriers, proves as passionate as it is dangerous. To the scorching plains and snow-capped mountains of a magnificent, volatile India, M.M. Kaye adds her extraordinary narrative talent and meticulous historical accuracy, as well as her profound understanding of the human heart. And with that, Distant Pavilions rises to the top of great adventure novels, of great classics.
