Shivratri (the Night of Shiva)

About this film

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 For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
