«Le seul amant» is the historical novel by Eric Deschodt and Jean-Claude Lattès, published by Seuil in paperback (432 pages, in French).
In fifteenth-century southern India, King Goda Varma lives alongside Hindus, Christians, Jews and Muslims, but cannot overcome the abandonment of Shobita, a sacred dancer. The arrival of the first Portuguese, with Vasco da Gama, upsets the kingdom's balance and unleashes a violence that will end a dream of coexistence.
The work was published in 2000 in Seuil's Cadre rouge collection and closes with bibliographical references.
For readers of historical fiction interested in medieval India and the clash between cultures.
Éric Deschodt is a French journalist, writer and translator. He wrote police novels under the pseudonym Bernard-Paul Lallier.
