5.0 out of 5 stars REMARKABLE AND WELL DOCUMENTED, Nov 17 2003

Ce commentaire est de: King Leopold's Soliloquy (Paperback)
mark twain's accounts of king leopold's rule in the congo and the colonization of it by the belguims speak of a known but least talked about african holocaust in the congo. over ten million people murdered. congolese people enslaved, mutilated, whipped, tortured, and ect. all under the orders of leopold and belguim. it shows how imperialism in the congo raped the region of its vast resources such as gold, diamonds, cobalt, maganese, rubber and fruit products. this book should definately be read by all, eventhough it a small book, its very powerful and needed. i highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is it what's really that bad that makes this book so good?, April 27 2000
By Phalin Landry (Louisiana,United States) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: King Leopold's Soliloquy (Paperback)
In beginning Twain's "King Leopold's Soliloquy", one immediately notices how wordy Twain is. Yet, the context plays a major role in portraying the oddity of how the king actually thought his cruelty was well deserved. This book is pure genius when it comes to irony and sarcasim. One of Twain's most horrid yet thought provoking novels.
