The narrative follows Samuel Baker, an Englishman who, after losing his wife, relocates to Ceylon in 1846 to establish an agricultural settlement in Nuwara Eliya. His efforts to bring cattle and emigrants from England lead to the settlement's success. Throughout his time in Ceylon, Baker's passion for hunting with his hounds serves as the inspiration for this novel and a subsequent work, highlighting themes of adventure and resilience in a foreign land.
