| Summary |
"Akbar: een oosterse roman" by P. A. S. van Limburg Brouwer is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story is centered around the influential Mughal Emperor Akbar, who ruled over India during the late 16th century, and it explores his life and the surrounding historical figures, intertwining reality with fictional elements. The opening of the novel introduces us to the majestic Himalayas, setting the stage in the late 16th century during Akbar's reign. It follows the journey of Siddha Rama, the son of a minister from Kashmir, who is accompanied by his mentor Koelloeka. They are on a mission to deliver important letters to Akbar's court while planning to visit a hermit named Gaurapada in the Himalayas. As they travel, the narrative paints a vivid picture of the natural setting and hints at the complexities of Siddha's character. When they encounter Gaurapada, Siddha experiences a mixture of anticipation and amusement, only to be surprised by the old man's wisdom and the revelation of his royal past, ultimately giving the young nobleman much to ponder as he embarks on his path towards the Mughal court.
