| Summary | "Dragon's Blood" by Henry Milner Rideout is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a rich, atmospheric setting, focusing on themes of adventure and romance as a young German clerk, Rudolph Hackh, navigates his way through the complexities of a foreign land and his nascent feelings for an intriguing Englishwoman, Miss Forrester. The opening of the book introduces us to Rudolph, who is traveling aboard a mail-boat to China, filled with both excitement and homesickness. As the ship moves through the Red Sea and toward its destination, he encounters a vibrant mix of cultures and personalities, which leaves him feeling both curious and overwhelmed. When he first notices Miss Forrester, a charming woman traveling alone, he becomes smitten, leading to a series of engaging interactions where he grapples with his self-perceptions and romantic aspirations. As the story progresses, we get a sense of the burgeoning tension between East and West, as well as the personal conflicts Rudolph experiences, setting the stage for his evolution amid intense cultural contrasts and emotional trials.
