The Dream of Ravan: A Mystery is a novel written by George Robert Stow Mead and first published in 1895. The book is set in India and follows the story of a British detective named Arthur Jukes who is tasked with solving a murder case. The victim is an Englishman named John Denton who was found dead in his bungalow in the town of Kailas. The prime suspect is Ravan, a local Indian man who was seen leaving the bungalow on the night of the murder.As Jukes investigates the case, he becomes increasingly fascinated by Ravan’s dreams, which seem to hold clues to the murder. Ravan claims to have dreamt of the murder before it happened and Jukes begins to wonder if there is more to the case than meets the eye. The novel explores themes of colonialism, cultural differences, and the power of dreams.The Dream of Ravan: A Mystery is a complex and thought-provoking novel that challenges readers to question their assumptions about justice, morality, and the nature of reality. Mead’s vivid descriptions of India and its people bring the setting to life, while his nuanced portrayal of the characters adds depth and complexity to the story. Overall, The Dream of Ravan: A Mystery is a compelling read for anyone interested in mystery, detective fiction, or the history of colonialism in India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
