The Mirror Of Kong Ho

The Mirror of Kong Ho is a collection of short stories written by Ernest Bramah. The book is set in the early 20th century and follows the adventures of a Chinese man named Kong Ho who travels to England and experiences various cultural clashes and misunderstandings. The stories are humorous and satirical, poking fun at both Western and Eastern customs and traditions. Kong Ho is a keen observer of human behavior and his reflections on life and society provide a unique perspective on the world. The book is divided into several sections, each containing a number of stories that are loosely connected by recurring characters and themes. The Mirror of Kong Ho is a witty and entertaining read that offers a glimpse into the cultural divide between East and West.At this point a person of degraded ancestry endeavoured to remove the undoubted cloud of depression by feigning the nocturnal cry of the domestic cat; but in this he was not successful, and a maiden opposite, after fixedly regarding a bone on her plate, withdrew suddenly, embracing herself as she went. A moment later the slave returned, proclaiming aloud that the dish which had been prepared for the occasion had now been accidentally discovered by the round-bodied cook beneath the cushions of an arm-chair (a spot by no means satisfactory to this person's imagination had the opportunities at his disposal been more diffuse).This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
