Description
Francis Yeats-Brown's Bengal Lancer is a unique blend of memoir and spiritual exploration. This book tells the story of a young cavalry officer's adventures in the British Empire, while also delving into his passion for India's spiritual traditions. Yeats-Brown's narrative is marked by humor, self-deprecation, and a deep love for horses and dogs. He recounts his experiences in the First World War and shares his enthusiasm for polo and pig-sticking. However, it is not his military exploits or sporting pursuits that define him, but rather his quest to uncover truth. Through Bengal Lancer, Yeats-Brown invites readers on an idiosyncratic journey of self-discovery, one that explores the complexities of identity and the human search for meaning.
