Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Written by Jules Verne between 1879 and 1880, the story is narrated by Monsieur Maucler, a otherwise secondary character, except for the last three chapters, told by a more classic omniscient narrator.In 1867, in Calcutta, a British engineer named Banks invites his friends: Colonel Munro, Captain Hod, Sergeant MacNeil, the Gurkha Goumi, and Monsieur Maucler, a French traveller that Banks met and befriended in Paris some years prior, to a journey through India using an original transport: a steam machine shaped as an elephant (ordered by a nabab who died before the work was completed) pulling two very comfortable wagons. They all accept the invitation, Hod because he wants to go hunting some tigers, Munro to get a distraction from painful memories and the others out of curiosity.But as they make their way across the country the past comes to haunt them back when the authorities announce that Nana Sahib, a former leader of the Sepoy Mutiny has suddenly reappeared in the country. Munro, whose wife Laurence was murdered during the uprising by Nana Sahib's soldiers, forgets everything about the journey with his friends and tries to locate the elusive rebel.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In the meantime, Nana Sahib and his brother Balao Rao are trying to rally as many supporters as they can find to start a new rebellion, until they are unknowingly denounced by a beggar called the Wandering Flame, a mad woman living in the jungle and perpetually carrying a torch in her hand. | |

Author Avatar: The French traveller Maucler could be one, as the illustrator of the original edition, Benett, made him look a lot like Jules Verne. | |

Berserk Button: Do not, under any circumstances, mention the Sepoy revolt or Nana Sahib in front of Edward Munro. Friend or not, he is likely to squeeze the living daylights out of you if he thinks you can provide some news about his enemy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Action Girl: the late Lakshmi Bai, rani of Jansi, led her own troops on the battlefield and fought alongside with her soldiers during the Sepoy uprising, and was killed in action - both Truth in Television. Avenging her death is one of Nana Sahib's motivations for starting a new revolt. Laurence Munro also had shades of this during her enforced stay in Cawnpore, taking care of injured soldiers, trying to keep the morale high and arguing with the officer defending the place so that he would not surrender to Nana Sahib. | |
