Summary "Om: The Secret of Ahbor Valley" by Talbot Mundy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on Cottswold Ommony, a seasoned forester recently returned from the wilderness of India, who finds himself embroiled in the complexities of colonial politics and the mysteries surrounding a mystical jade stone. Ommony's character is multifaceted, embodying both the ruggedness of his forest life and the wisdom acquired through years of experience in the richly diverse landscape of India. The opening of the novel introduces the busy and politically charged atmosphere of Delhi, reflecting on the interactions in a local club where club members gossip about recent events and speculate about Ommony's life. As Ommony reenters civilization after years in the wild, he is subject to various opinions and discussions regarding his past accomplishments and the looming changes in colonial India. He is depicted as a man of influence, with a reputation for embracing the wilderness but also entangled in political intrigue. The narrative hints at an underlying quest connected to the mysterious jade stone and its significance, creating an atmosphere of impending adventure and exploration against a backdrop of historical and cultural complexities.
