Produced by Al Haines "The Little Gods: A Masque of the Far East" by Rowland Thomas is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of life, culture, and human experiences through a narrative that juxtaposes Eastern and Western perspectives. It introduces readers to a variety of characters, primarily focusing on the themes of struggle, identity, and the search for meaning in a world perceived as a game played by divine or supernatural forces. The opening of the story establishes a reflective and contemplative atmosphere as the narrator grapples with a lack of inspiration while observing the mundane aspects of life around him. Suddenly, he finds himself transported back to a vibrant Eastern city filled with colorful characters and stimulating experiences, capturing the essence of youth and vitality. He encounters an old priest who initiates a discussion about the concept of "Little Gods" that play games with human lives, leading him to ponder the paradoxes of existence. Individual characters begin to emerge, such as Fagan, a central figure whose story unfolds amidst cultural tensions and a personal quest for identity, drawn against a backdrop of military life and societal expectations. This sets the stage for a narrative rich in cultural exploration and philosophical inquiry. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 80.7 (6th grade).
