The Romany Rye by George Borrow
"The Romany Rye" by George Borrow is a novel written in 1857 as a sequel to "Lavengro." This partly autobiographical philosophical adventure follows a learned young man living among the Romanies. The story features encounters with eccentric characters and includes ethnographic observations of Romani customs. The protagonist acquires a valuable horse from his Romani friend Jasper Petulengro, sells it at Horncastle horse fair, and ultimately discovers connections between the Romani language and
Northern Indian languages, leading to an unexpected resolution. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
