عن هذا الكتاب

LibriVox volunteers bring you 14 recordings of Shivratri (the Night of Shiva) by Laurence Hope. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for November 9, 2025. ------ Violet Nicolson, otherwise known as Adela Florence Nicolson (née Cory), was an English poet who wrote under the pseudonym Laurence Hope. In the early 1900s, she became a best-selling author. Adela married Colonel Malcolm Hassels Nicolson. A talented linguist, he introduced her to his love of India and native customs and food, which she began to share. This widely gave the couple a reputation for being eccentric. On the Zhob Valley expedition of 1890 she followed her husband through the passes of the Afghan border disguised as a Pathan boy. - Summary by Wikipedia
