India Passion.
(Javier Moro)
The 28 of May of 1906 Madrid were a celebration by the wedding of king Alfonso XIII with English princess Victoria Eugenia de Battenberg. Between the hundreds of illustrious guests, one was the good looking Jagatjit Singh, maharajá of Kapurthala. At night, rajá Indian goes to a music spectacle and dances to the Kursaal Power station, fronton by day and coffee concert at night. The providence wanted that that night acted a young person of 17 years called Thin Anita, of whose grace and beauty marahajá is pledged at first sight. Maharajá, owner of an impressive customary fortune and to always obtain what wants, will not rest until obtaining the Thin hand of Anita. It, although in the beginning obstinate, cannot surrender to her insistences and fabulous gifts and, after obtaining the consent of her family, who will receive in return a spectacular dowry, accedes to see itself with him first in Paris, few months later to become the fifth woman of maharajá of Kapurthala. Javier Moor has needed several years exhaustive documentation to novelar a real history that hooks to the reader with the amazing history of the life of a Spanish princess in the most luxurious palaces of India. The writer narrates of very likely form the difficulties and doubts of a normal girl, that he must adapt to a culture and traditions radically different from hers: its difficult relations with the rest of spouses of maharajá and you intrigue palaciegas, of which Thin Anita will finish being the main protagonist. The book serves, in addition, to know history the India colonized by the English in the first decades to century XX, until the independence obtained in 1947, thanks to the revolt guided by Mathama Gandhí. Chapter aparate deserves the incredible eccentricities of marahajás, as the case of rajá of Kapurthala, that combined in the same person an excessive love by the luxury with a good government to the service of its town. Captivated by this fascinating real history, the Penélope actress Cross has bought the rights of India Passion to turn it film. Connections: Editorial Seix Barral Marries of Libro the English Court
