সংক্ষিপ্ত বিবরন : The Modern Traveller is an excellent satire (in verses), published in 1898. It highlights the effects of British colonialism and white savior complex with irony and sarcasm. It parodied a contemporary adventure book called “In Darkest Africa” (1890) by Henry Morton Stanley. The entire poem is an interview between a journalist of the daily Menace (probably poking at the daily Mail) and a dishonest adventurer. The so-called adventurer explained how his own heroism saves the day and the untold hardship is suffered by the natives and how unacceptably unrefined and gullible they were. The other characters who were involved in this expedition Commander Sin and Captain Blood, (fictional as well) conveniently did not survive to give their individual testimony of this whole adventure. It ends with the narrator bragging about how much he is offered for his upcoming book on this expedition.
