My Old Cousin: Or A Peep Into Cochin-China is a novel written by Lister and published in 1819. The story follows the journey of a young Englishman named Henry who travels to Cochin-China (modern-day Vietnam) to visit his cousin, who has been living there for many years. Henry is fascinated by the culture and customs of the people he meets, and he soon becomes embroiled in a series of adventures that test his courage and resourcefulness.As he explores Cochin-China, Henry encounters a wide range of characters, from wealthy merchants to poor farmers, from corrupt officials to brave rebels fighting for their freedom. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Thao, who is also caught up in the struggle for independence.Through Henry's experiences, the novel provides a vivid and detailed portrait of life in Cochin-China during the early 19th century. It explores themes of cultural difference, political upheaval, and the challenges of adapting to a new environment. Ultimately, My Old Cousin is a compelling and entertaining work of historical fiction that offers a unique perspective on a fascinating period in Southeast Asian history.Three Volumes In One.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
