Description:
James A. Michener’s masterly skill as a story-teller made his earlier novel "Tales of the South Pacific" the inspiration for one of the most successful musicals of our time. Even greater lustre is added to his reputation with "Caravans" which, set far from the romantic Pacific Isles in the remote and little-known mountain kingdom of Afghanistan, is a novel of compelling interest and rare enchantment.
The story takes place one year after World War Two when Ellen Jaspars, a U.S. Senator’s daughter, has disappeared and Mark Miller, a young diplomat, undertakes to find her. But in his search he discovers yet another mystery – one underlying the strange compulsion which has driven this young American girl to seek a primitive fulfilment in this wild heart of Central Asia.
"Caravans" is vibrantly alive with acutely observed sights and events – sometimes weird, sometimes horrible, always fascinating. The incredible beauty of the Hindu Kush, the stoning of a woman taken in adultery, the vain attempt to take a dying man across one if the hottest deserts in the world. Above all the daily life of the nomads, unchanged since the Bronze Age and only now threatened by advancing civilization.
A deeply satisfying book – both as a brilliantly constructed novel and as a fascinating and unusually authentic travelogue.
