Summary: "Condensed Novels: New Burlesques" by Bret Harte is a collection of satirical stories written during the late 19th century. The book features a blend of humor and parody, focusing on societal norms, character tropes, and the absurdities of human nature. The opening portion introduces the character Rudolph of Trulyruralania, an arrogant and self-satisfied individual who enjoys living in the shadow of his more accomplished brother, Lord Burleydon, and reveals his struggles with identity and aspirations of adventure. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Rudolph, who boasts about his attributes to the disdain of his sister-in-law, Rose. As their banter unfolds, it becomes clear that Rudolph is a character full of bravado but lacking in substantive accomplishments. Rose encourages him to take a diplomatic position that could help him escape his mundane existence, and after some reluctance, Rudolph decides to take a holiday in Trulyruralania. This sets the stage for further comedic misadventures involving mistaken identities and royal intrigues, highlighting the whimsical, light-hearted nature of Harte's storytelling.
