520			_a"The year is 1857. In Krishnapur the British community carries on its serene existence, complacently ignoring the rumours of trouble among the native troops elsewhere in Hindustan. Life is dull, but the trappings of civilization must be earnestly preserved. Only the collector, Mr. Hopkins, senses danger. When the sepoys in the nearby cantonment rise in bloody revolt, the British retreat in shocked confusion to the residency. Crowded behind makeshift barricades, surrounded by the collector's varied mementoes of the great exhibition, they set themselves grimly to fight for their lives-- and for their way of live-- with every means at their disposal." - Back cover.
