Summary "Kophetua the Thirteenth" by Julian Stafford Corbett is a historical romance written in the late 19th century. The book is set in the fictional colony of Oneiria and follows the story of King Kophetua XIII, whose reign is marked by unusual political dynamics and personal struggles regarding duty, love, and the expectations placed upon him. The narrative blends elements of political satire and romantic intrigue centered around the king, his chancellor, Turbo, and the enigmatic Mademoiselle de Tricotrin. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the idyllic yet stagnant life in Oneiria, once founded on the principles of the Renaissance but now mired in political apathy and an effective lack of conflict. Kophetua XIII deeply yearns for purpose and moral engagement, feeling trapped in a political landscape devoid of excitement or challenges. As he grapples with personal dissatisfaction and the looming pressure of marriage, the arrival of Mademoiselle de Tricotrin creates a shift, prompting him to reflect on his responsibilities and desires. The opening chapters set the stage for a rich exploration of societal structures, the clash of ideals, and the personal awakening of a king in search of meaning in his life.
