Про цю електронну книгу
"The Mirror of Kong Ho," penned by the insightful Ernest Bramah, is an entrancing work that marries wit with wisdom, as it voyages through the fictional experiences of its East Asian protagonist. The narrative delivers cultural satire through the vessel of Kong Ho's voyages to the West, filtering Occidental customs and idiosyncrasies through an Oriental lens with a sublime fusion of humor and discernment. Rooted in the literary style of an epistolary novel, Bramah's work resonates with the timeless interplay of cross-cultural exploration and self-reflection, offering commentary with an acute sense of irony that is reminiscent of, yet distinctly separate from, the contemporary societal observations of authors like Mark Twain or Charles Dickens of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ernest Bramah, an English author, is renowned for his originality and the diversity in his writing, which sprawls across genres from science fiction to detective tales. 'The Mirror of Kong Ho' bears testament to his fascination with the Far East, a place from which he draws inspiration, combining it with his sharp English wit. This eclectic mix of interests mirrors the author's life journey and his perspective on the different worlds he traversed both in reality and imagination. Bramah's comprehension of East-West dynamics predates the contemporary conversation on globalization, rendering his work prophetic and deeply insightful. This special edition from DigiCat Publishing offers both historians and literary aficionados an exquisite foray into a work that, while over a century old, remains remarkably pertinent in its exploration of cultural complexity. Readers who appreciate satire delivered with eloquent prose and an intelligent wit will find in 'The Mirror of Kong Ho' a reflective journey worth undertaking. It beckons those with an adventurous spirit and an inquisitive mind to ponder the nuanced mosaic of human culture through a prism both humorous and profound.
Про автора
Ernest Bramah (1868–1942), born Ernest Brammah Smith, was an English author who excelled in the art of storytelling across a number of literary genres. Perhaps best known for his creation of the blind detective Max Carrados, featured in a series of crime stories, Bramah also penned the charming and insightful book 'The Mirror of Kong Ho'. This particular work speaks to his versatility and capability to blend philosophy with humor, exploring the experiences of a Chinese visitor in London, mixing the wisdom of the East with the mannerisms of the West. Bramah's style often embraced paradox and wit, which, coupled with his mastery over narrative, has cemented him as a unique, though sometimes overlooked, figure in English literature. While not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, the quality of his work invites literary scholars and enthusiasts alike to revisit his contributions. 'The Mirror of Kong Ho' further showcases his narrative skills and provides a window into his literary style, which combined satire with a touch of the fantastical. Throughout his career, Bramah remained committed to originality, evidenced by his diverse set of works that also includes science fiction and political commentary, demonstrating a versatility that was ahead of his time.
