Civilization: Tales of the Orient
Civilization: Tales of the Orient is a collection of short stories by Ellen N. La Motte, written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of colonial Shanghai, the narratives explore themes of identity, cultural conflict, and personal longing through the lives of both foreigners and locals. The stories highlight the complexities of life in this bustling port city, beginning with the tale of a young Englishman, Rogers, who grapples with feelings of alienation and societal norms as he navigates his relationships in a foreign land.
