"Dwala: A Romance" by George Calderon is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on a unique character, Colonel, who is an anthropoid that exhibits human-like traits, particularly the ability to speak, and his relationship with an American circus trainer. The narrative explores themes of civilization, identity, and the contrast between the wildness of nature and the complexities of human society. At the start of the tale, we find the Colonel and his trainer living in the forest of Borneo, where they have developed a routine that includes conversing and sharing meals with each other and a collection of monkeys. The Colonel shows signs of frustration and curiosity about the world outside their secluded life, particularly regarding the human notions of civilization and societal structures. This opening establishes a dynamic between the two characters that hints at deeper explorations of belonging, the nature of humanity, and the impending changes brought about by civilization as they prepare to leave their familiar surroundings for London.
