Críticas:
"Suspense and subtlety, humour and horror, the near-neighbourliness of heroism and insanity: it is rare to find such divergent elements being controlled in one hand and being raced, as it were, in one yoke. But Farrell manages just this here: his imaginative insight and technical virtuosity combine to produce a novel of quite outstanding quality."
-- The Times (London) "The magnificient passages of action in The Siege of Krishnapur, its gallery of characters, its unashamedly detailed and fascinating dissertations on cholera, gunnery, phrenology, the prodigal inventiveness of its no doubt also well-documented scenes should satisfy the most exacting and voracious reader. For a novel to be witty is one thing, to tell a good story is another, to be serious is yet another, but to be all three is surely enough to make it a masterpiece."
-- John Spurling, The New Statesman "...a masterpiece as unclassifiable as Giuseppe Lampedusa's novel The Leopard or Penelope Fitzgerald's novel, The Blue Flower. A historical novel, a comedy of manners, an intellectual history, an evocation of scene: It is all of these. But it is the inimitable combination of these ingredients that gives the book its perculiar savor."

A novel set in India in the mid-nineteenth century takes readers to the far outposts of empire where rumors of war often materialize into actual combat, focusing on a British colonial community that finds itself, and its "superior" Victorian values, under siege. Winner of the 1973 Booker Prize. Reprint.
