In The Shadow Of The Bush is a historical novel written by P. Amaury Talbot and published in 1912. The book is set in West Africa during the late 19th century and explores the complex relationships between the British colonial rulers and the indigenous tribes. The story follows the life of a young British officer named George Whitcombe who is sent to Nigeria to serve in the colonial administration. He soon becomes embroiled in a conflict with a powerful local chief named Okon, who resists British rule and seeks to maintain his independence. As Whitcombe struggles to maintain order and uphold British law, he becomes increasingly aware of the cultural and social differences between the colonizers and the colonized. He also falls in love with a local woman named Aina, which further complicates his position. Throughout the novel, Talbot explores themes of imperialism, cultural clash, and the struggle for power and identity in a rapidly changing world. The book provides a vivid and detailed portrayal of life in West Africa during the colonial era and offers a nuanced perspective on the complex relationships between the British and the local populations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
