He's twelve years old and speaks almost as many languages. That is why, in the year 1854, he is hired as a translator by the brothers Schlagintweit from Germany who, with the support of Alexander von Humboldt and the East India Company, embark upon the greatest expedition of their time, which takes them across India and the Himalayas. But Bartholomew is also pursuing his own agenda: he wants to establish the first museum of his remarkable, complex native land. And for this, he is willing to risk everything -- even his life. Based on the true story of a huge scientific undertaking by three Bavarian brothers, and brilliantly translated by Rekha Kamath Rajan, Christopher Kloeble's The Museum of the World is a fantastic adventure that will change the way we see the history of colonialism.--Back cover 500 $a German edition published: Munich : DTV ; [2020] 500 $a First published in English in India by HarperCollins Publishers, 2022. 600 10 $a Schlagintweit, Adolph, $d 1829-1857 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Schlagintweit-SakuÌnluÌnski, Hermann von, $d 1826-1882 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Schlagintweit, Robert von, $d 1833-1885 $v Fiction. 600 17 $a Schlagintweit, Robert von, $d 1833-1885. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00277069 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Imperialism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Orphans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Scientific expeditions $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Imperialism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968126 650 7 $a Orphans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01048433 650 7 $a Scientific expeditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108847 651 0 $a India $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Trans-Himalayas $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Asia $z Trans-Himalayas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01309094 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Rajan, Rekha Kamath, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013230.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F424D9DA3D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
