Saleh: A Sequel (1908)

By Hugh Clifford

Book Overview

Saleh: A Sequel (1908) is a novel written by Hugh Charles Clifford. It is a continuation of the story of Saleh, a character introduced in Clifford's earlier work, In Court and Kampong: Being Tales and Sketches of Native Life in the Malay Peninsula (1897). The novel takes place in the Malay Peninsula during the early 20th century and explores the themes of colonialism, cultural clashes, and the struggle for identity. The story follows Saleh, a young Malay man who has been educated in England and returns to his homeland to find himself torn between his Western education and his traditional Malay upbringing. He becomes embroiled in a political conflict between the colonial authorities and the local Malay leaders, and must navigate the complex cultural and political landscape of his homeland. Along the way, he falls in love with a British woman, further complicating his sense of identity and loyalty. The novel offers a nuanced portrayal of the tensions between colonialism and indigenous cultures, and the challenges faced by individuals who straddle these two worlds. It also explores the themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal, as Saleh must make difficult choices that will shape his future and the future of his people. Overall, Saleh: A Sequel is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a unique perspective on the complex history and culture of the Malay Peninsula.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
