Hussein
"Hussein is a story about a young mahout - or elephant handler - with his childhood and life in India, his relationship and adventures with elephants all rendered in rich detail. As a boy, Hussein falls in love with a beautiful and elusive girl, Sashiya, and arranges for another of her suitors to be murdered with a fakir's curse. The dead man's relatives vow vengeance.
Hussein escapes and his adventures begin: snake-charming, sword-fighting, spying, stealing a fortune, and returning triumphantly to claim his bride. All of this is set against an evocatively exotic India, full of bazaars, temples, and beautiful women."--BOOK JACKET.
