Le Due Tigri - Emilio Salgari - Bog

"This is an epic race through mysterious India" - Claudio Gallo.
"So: surrounded, hit, and sunk. So Viva Salgari!" - Agostino Contò.
The Two Tigers, the novel that closes the first part of Emilio Salgari's Indo-Malay cycle, is also the best of the series. A dense plot and the fast pace of the pursuit of Suyodhana, the fearsome leader of the thugs, is the backdrop of a wild and beautiful India, inhabited by fearsome predators, but also on fire. We are in 1857, at the center of a bloody uprising of the Indians against the English invaders. Salgari knows facts and data and gives us an in-depth report. Salgari is an almost unique voice for its time he accurately describes historical and environmental facts, admonishes and defines morality and nobility, masterfully grafting them to the courage and purity of friendship of its characters.
