Description

"

In "King Leopold's Soliloquy: A Defense of His Congo Rule," Mark Twain masterfully satirizes the inhumane actions of King Leopold II of Belgium in the Congo Free State. Through a fictional monologue delivered by the notorious king himself, Twain exposes the brutal exploitation and atrocities committed by Leopold in the name of colonialism and profit. Twain's scathing critique offers a powerful condemnation of imperialism and its devastating impact on indigenous peoples.

The book serves as a poignant reminder of the dark history of European colonization and the importance of holding leaders accountable for their actions. Twain's sharp wit and vivid storytelling make "King Leopold's Soliloquy" a captivating and thought-provoking read that sheds light on a lesser-known chapter of global history.
