The Stolen God and Other Experiences of Indian Palace Life is a memoir written by Nina Ottmann in 1915. The book provides a vivid portrayal of the author's experiences as a European woman living in an Indian palace during the early 20th century. Ottmann's writing is full of rich descriptions of the opulent lifestyle of the Indian aristocracy, as well as the complex social dynamics that existed within the palace walls.The book's title refers to one particularly dramatic incident in Ottmann's life, in which a valuable statue of a Hindu god was stolen from the palace. Ottmann's account of the theft and the subsequent investigation provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Indian royalty and the role that religion played in their lives.Throughout the book, Ottmann also reflects on her own identity as a European woman living in an unfamiliar culture. She describes the challenges she faced in adapting to Indian customs and beliefs, as well as the friendships she formed with the Indian women who lived in the palace.Overall, The Stolen God and Other Experiences of Indian Palace Life is a captivating memoir that offers readers a unique perspective on Indian culture and society during a time of great change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
