By The World Forgot: A Double Romance Of The East And West is a novel written by Cyrus Townsend Brady and published in 1917. The book tells the story of two couples from different cultures who are brought together by fate. The first couple is a young American man named Jack Merrill and a beautiful Chinese woman named Li Wan. The second couple is a British officer named Captain George Forsythe and a young Indian woman named Tara Devi. The novel is set in the early 20th century in China and India, and explores themes of love, culture clash, and the struggle for independence. The story begins with Jack Merrill, who has come to China to work as a missionary. While there, he falls in love with Li Wan, who is the daughter of a wealthy Chinese merchant. However, their love is forbidden by both their families and their cultures. Meanwhile, Captain Forsythe is stationed in India and falls in love with Tara Devi, who is the daughter of a wealthy Indian prince. However, their love is also forbidden due to cultural differences and the political tensions of the time. As the story progresses, the four characters navigate their way through their respective cultures and try to find a way to be together. The novel also explores the larger historical context of the time, including the Boxer Rebellion in China and the Indian independence movement. By The World Forgot is a romantic and adventurous novel that provides a glimpse into the cultural complexities of the East and West during the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
