Arthur Galletti was an Indian Civil Service maverick in Madras Presidency whose professional and personal Anglo-Italian character ‘differences’ led to battles that highlighted sharp political and social divisions among British rulers in India.This biography of Arthur Galletti provides deep insight into his life and personality as well as his style of working and his concern for the welfare of common people. Simultaneously it demonstrates social prejudices in British India concerning class, status, race, education and profession. Also it connects to the major phases of the in dependence movement in India between the late 19th century and 1947.
Brian Stoddart, Emeritus Professor at La Trobe University in Australia, is a New Zealand-born historian, biographer, memoirist, novelist and screenwriter who has lived and worked in more than a dozen countries. His PhD was on south Indian nationalist politics, and he has maintained a long interest in India ranging from history to sport. As a media commentator and cruise ship speaker he has been educating a wide audience about all aspects of the areas of his expertise.
I had finished writing the main draft of the book by the time I began working with Shhalaj, and his advice helped shape the final version before we began the actual publishing process. The book sat well with his publishing house given the India setting and the long experience with historical subjects.
Overall, it was the sheer quality of both the final settings and production process as well as the cover artwork that combined to make it such a lovely book to look at and pick up. Shhalaj and his team know their business!
Anyone contemplating the production of their first book ld do very well to begin with Shhalaj because he has a great interest in writers and their work, and in producing the best quality products.
