Product Description

The Missioner is a novel written by Edward Phillips Oppenheim and was first published in 1907. The story revolves around a young man named John Glynde, who is sent to a remote village in India as a missionary. John is enthusiastic about his mission and is eager to convert the locals to Christianity. However, he soon realizes that the people of the village have their own beliefs and traditions, which are deeply ingrained in their culture.As John struggles to understand and connect with the villagers, he meets a beautiful young woman named Lota, who is the daughter of the local chief. Lota is intelligent and curious, and she is fascinated by John's teachings. As they spend more time together, John begins to develop feelings for Lota, and he starts to question his own beliefs and the purpose of his mission.Meanwhile, a group of bandits is terrorizing the village, and the chief asks John for help. John is torn between his duty as a missionary and his growing love for Lota. He must also navigate the complex politics of the village, which is divided into different factions, each with its own agenda.The Missioner is a story of love, faith, and cultural clashes. It explores the themes of colonialism, imperialism, and the clash of cultures. Oppenheim's vivid descriptions of the Indian landscape and culture add depth and authenticity to the story. The novel is a timeless classic that continues to be relevant today, as it raises important questions about the role of religion and cultural identity in our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
