Summary "La vuelta al mundo de un novelista; vol. 3/3" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The work explores various cultures and landscapes, likely reflecting the author's observations as he travels through India, Ceylon, Sudan, and Egypt. The narrative offers insight into the customs, traditions, and daily life in these regions, potentially showcasing the contrasts between colonial influences and indigenous practices." The opening of this volume immerses the reader in the bustling life of Calcutta, focusing on the intricate and often chaotic dynamics between the British colonial presence and the local Indian population. The author vividly describes his experiences at the Grand Hotel, which combines elements of Western-style hospitality with the peculiarities of Indian domesticity, including the presence of various servants and the sacred cows that roam freely. As he navigates through the complexities of his surroundings, the narrative introduces various facets of Indian culture such as rituals, societal norms, and the significance of the Ganges River. The text foreshadows further explorations into the mystical and often unsettling aspects of Indian life, including references to religious practices and local superstitions.
