Description
In 1836, Robin Swift is an orphan brought from Canton to England by a mysterious guardian. He enters Babel, the Royal Institute of Translation, where language is a source of power for the British Empire. Initially enchanted by his new life, Robin soon realises that Babel is a prison that demands loyalty to an oppressive empire. As he navigates academic challenges and personal dilemmas, he must decide whether to conform or fight against the injustices of colonialism. This novel explores themes of language, power, and resistance in a richly constructed historical setting.
