- Résumé : "A Journey to Katmandu" by Laurence Oliphant offers a vivid account of the author's travels to Nepal in the mid-19th century, accompanying the Nepalese Prime Minister, Jung Bahadoor, on his return from a diplomatic mission to England. The narrative begins with Oliphant's departure from Ceylon aboard the steam frigate Atalanta, highlighting the cultural and social dynamics aboard the ship, including the daily routines and interactions with Jung Bahadoor and his entourage. Upon reaching Calcutta, Oliphant embarks on a journey through the Indian subcontinent, traversing the Grand Trunk Road and experiencing the diverse landscapes and cultures of the region. The text provides detailed descriptions of various Indian cities, including Benares and Jaunpore, where Oliphant observes local customs, architecture, and the bustling life of the bazaars. His journey is marked by encounters with the local populace, insights into the socio-political climate, and reflections on the colonial influence in India. As the expedition progresses into Nepal, Oliphant offers a rich portrayal of the Terai region, its economic significance, and the challenges posed by its dense forests and wildlife. The narrative culminates in the arrival at Katmandu, where Oliphant provides an in-depth look at the Nepalese court, its traditions, and the political landscape. Through his observations, Oliphant captures the essence of Nepal's evolving cultural heritage and the complexities of its relationship with British India. The book serves as both a travelogue and a historical document, offering readers a glimpse into a world that was, at the time, largely unknown to the Western world.
- Biographie : Laurence Oliphant est un homme politique membre du Parlement britannique et journaliste anglais, qui fut un fidèle adepte du Retour vers Sion.
