"Lord Lister No. 0030: De Directeur der Koloniale Vereeniging" by Kurt Matull et al. is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character John Raffles, also known as Lord Lister, who encounters fraudulent schemes tied to colonial ventures in Africa, particularly involving a dubious Belgian company promising wealth to unsuspecting investors. The book appears to explore themes of deception, colonial exploitation, and the pursuit of fortune. The opening of the novel introduces John Raffles and his secretary, Charly Brand, as they react to a prospectus advertising a seemingly miraculous opportunity for wealth in Africa. Raffles’ indignation over the prospectus reveals not only his contempt for the unscrupulousness of the colonizers but also sets the stage for his intentions to confront these swindlers. After determining to visit the director of the Colonial Association in Brussels, Raffles’ journey begins, plotting his course through the moral complexities of colonialism while hinting at his shrewd character and adventurous spirit. As the narrative unfolds, it lays the groundwork for Raffles' escapades and the challenges he will face in Kilambayo, illustrating the tension between aspiration and the harsh realities of colonial enterprises.
