| Summary | "Sanders of the River" by Edgar Wallace is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the context of British colonial rule in West Central Africa, centering on Mr. Commissioner Sanders, who is tasked with overseeing a diverse array of African tribes. The narrative primarily follows Sanders as he navigates the complexities of governance, tribal politics, and the clash of cultures while dealing with various local chiefs and their customs. The opening of the book introduces Mr. Commissioner Sanders and provides a glimpse into his character and experiences in the African backlands. It showcases his straightforward approach to law and order, often marked by his decisive yet sometimes ruthless handling of local issues. The chapter conveys the challenges and misunderstandings between colonial authorities and the indigenous people, exemplified through a series of interactions between Sanders and the chiefs he encounters, such as a dispute regarding stolen goats and women. This sets the tone for the exploration of power dynamics, justice, and the cultural clashes that will evolve throughout the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
