Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Empire of Samosas: A Comical Chronicle of Crowns and Colonels, history is served with a side of spice, humor, and a hefty helping of absurdity. Set in 18th-century India, this uproarious tale follows the misadventures of Colonel Reginald Butterpants, a British officer with more enthusiasm for Indian pickles than diplomacy, and Nawab Jalalluddin Pasha Jaleebi, a Mughal noble whose empire now consists of a courtyard and a talking parrot.From mistaken treaties written on naan bread to battles fought with chutney as a weapon, this laugh-out-loud romp through colonial India is full of witty satire, quirky characters, and outrageous misunderstandings. Watch as the British and Mughal courts collide in the most unexpected of ways, all over food, power, and the odd cultural blunder.With an ensemble cast that includes a rebellious poet, a feisty aunt plotting matrimonial alliances for her cat, and an elephant diplomacy debacle, this book proves that history is far more entertaining when it's served with a dollop of humor.Packed with absurdity, heart, and historical hijinks, Empire of Samosas will leave you in stitches and perhaps questioning whether samosas could, in fact, change the course of empires.A deliciously funny journey through time that's as flavorful as the cuisine it celebrates! This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
