About This Novel
At the beginning of his accession to the throne, the young emperor Seth ambitiously tried to force modernization and Westernization in this primitive tribal country; at the same time, Basil, a daydream king who was ridiculed by the British upper class, came to this magical black land by accident. He was spotted by the emperor and became the minister of modernization without hesitation, becoming the standard-bearer of "progress". This pair of Don Quixote and Sancho, who are confused in time and space, staged a ridiculous play that is both ironic and ridiculous. The novel is full of hilarious plots and characters, which are both humorous and vivid. On the other hand, humor is closely followed by irony and tragedy. The characters in the novel are not treated as cartoons. They live in a wild world without having to bear any consequences for their actions. Fate is cruel, and the author's humor does nothing to hide it. As a result, readers can't help but feel their scalp numb while laughing, and this is where the black humor of "Black Mischief" lies. At the same time, for today's readers who are accustomed to romanticizing the customs and customs of all backward areas, this work written in the first half of the twentieth century can be regarded as an excellent antidote: wilderness does not mean simplicity, and ignorance does not mean innocence.
