The Empire Trilogy: The Siege of Krishnapur, Troubles, and The Singapore Grip (repost)

The Empire Trilogy: The Siege of Krishnapur, Troubles, and The Singapore Grip By J.G. Farrell
Publisher: N Y R B Classics 2010 | 1012 Pages | ISBN: n/a ASIN: B004EWFV7W | EPUB | 2 MB

The Empire Trilogy–consisting of the Lost Booker Prize-winning Troubles, the Booker Prize-winning The Siege of Krishnapur,and The Singapore Grip–is Farrell's re-examination of the legacy, and limits, of British imperial rule. The three volumes, connected by theme rather than character, and above all by their shared wit, brio, and daring, range in setting from the India of the Great Mutiny of 1857, to Ireland immediately after the Great War, to the besieged Singapore of World War II. Together the books constitute not only a spectacular entertainment but also an ambitious refashioning of the traditional historical novel to meet the tragic realities of the modern world.
