Mukherjee tells how strange and random circumstances would determine the establishment of a trading center: Fort St. Sebastian was founded by an Englishman who wanted to be in close proximity to his object of desire, a fisherman's five-year-old daughter. Or the Mukherjee discusses the Englishwoman's discreet turning-of-head when her husband finds a bibi, a native concubine. The desire for riches and adventure that drove men to India, "jilted by primogeniture," and the insatiable lust that eventually drove them crazy are narrated with a sensitive eye for detail, a fluency of prose, and, most importantly...
...play is the richest yet by Bennett, known in the U.S. mainly for such minimalist video dramas as An Englishman Abroad with Alan Bates and Talking Heads with Maggie Smith. The staging's cinematic blend of pageantry and intimacy is a drama showcase for Hytner, best known for musicals such as Broadway's Miss Saigon and the Broadway-bound London revival of Carousel. The brevity of the eight-week U.S. run, combined with its vast scale -- 23 actors onstage and a staff of 22 -- pretty much ensures it will be at best a break- even for the Royal National. Explains...

Cearley's fall seems easier to understand. He and two companions had made the arduous climb to the 20,320-ft. summit and back down to 18,500 ft. As they stopped to rest and rope...

Another compilation of vague recollections of that night in November may fail to tickle your erogenous zones, but at least persevere. For a certain nomadic Englishman, it was far from a normal night...
...famed hostel: a huge, mucky building, with a central quad piled with trash and puke. I cannot forget that night. A constant drone of police cars filtered through the window (accompanied by odd flashing lights), and my roommate--it was a cheap place - who happened to be a fellow Englishman, was wallowing in the later stages of drugged stupor. He had come to New York with a mission to explore its gunky side. In his first week he had been mugged--twice. He spent 20 hours a day in those charming boutiques clustered around Times Square. He had an abominable...
