Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Rajah of Dah" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young boy named Ned, who, after finishing school, joins his uncle on an exciting expedition to Burma, where they encounter adventures, danger, and the local tyrannical ruler, the rajah. The novel explores themes of discovery, the clash of cultures, and the challenges of navigating unfamiliar territories and people. At the start of the narrative, we've introduced to Ned, a spirited sixteen-year-old eager to join his naturalist uncle on a journey into the wilderness of Burma. Their adventure begins with preparations for their trip, filled with both excitement and warnings about the dangers that lie ahead. Upon arrival, they encounter British settlers and learn about the local power dynamics, including the tyrannical rajah who holds sway over the area. As Ned and his uncle get drawn deeper into the local politics and dangers, including the rajah’s growing interest in a British girl, the stage is set for thrilling adventures infused with both mystery and suspense amidst the lush but perilous landscape of their setting.
