Mirror Of Kong Ho

Mirror Of Kong Ho

by Ernest Bramah

The book follows the humorous and often satirical observations of a young Chinese man, Kong Ho, as he navigates the complexities of Victorian London. Written in the form of letters to his father, Kong Ho's experiences highlight the cultural differences between the East and West, and the absurdity of some Western customs and practices. The narrative is infused with wry wit and a playful tone, offering a unique perspective on the social and cultural landscape of late nineteenth-century England.
