Yes, I know people complain that we've made them buy books, but you know, if, look, we're making you buy books are also trying to mitigate that pain by giving you discount. So join the club today. Empire port U. K. Dot com is where you'll find us now. Reminds us, Young man, where did you leave this? And where did you leave barber? So we were talking about the life of barber, who is the extraordinary character who's roughly the sort of contemporary of Henry the eight. So maybe one generation before him, hundred and th, if you're looking from English history, point of view, and bubble is remembred for two things. He remembered in India for the fact that he conquered northern India and established the mobile dnestr. But he's also remembered for being one of the greatest diis in all history. And my greatest pleasure during lockdown, was editing and writing an introduction to the bible. Numa, so this is stuff very close to my heart. And it is bubble. The writer that I admire and am obsessed with. I think the the section that we're going to be talking about in this episode is one of my all time favorite episodes. Because when we ended our last episode, which described his childhood, how he had inherited this kingdom in the vegan, a value what is now as Pakistan, and then had to watch both he and all his cousins lose their patron and be kicked out. And by the time he was only twenty-one, he was a refugee, wondering, with all his family, with all their goods on their backs, and then his fortunes turn and throw a series of remarkable accidents as much than the else he captures couple and manage to reestablish his dynasty and become just refugees, migrants, any less hopeless migrants, without any lands to their name. He managed to reestablished them and settled them in, under, around couple. And there then follows in the book, which I do think probably my favorite section of all, when he goes to visit the one remaining timid kingdom, his cousins who have taken over the western Afghan city of a rat. And what's lovely about it is the barber who's quite a self-confident figure in his book. And and for example, when he goes to India, he's very clear that he comes from this superior, central and culture where everything is symmetrical and need and logical. And the regards India is so dusty and ot and not to his taste, but it's the reverse. When he goes to her at, he feels himself the mud booted provincial and to hit stars. Memories of me when I was a kid coming to visit my cousins in London and being both sort of frightened and gosh, and feeling unsophisticated, but both then and my first teenage parties in London, I was the Scott's boy coming from the countryside and didn't have the clothes or the manners or the small tool.
