John Buchan Simulacrum
The Thirty-Nine Steps Â
19th–20th century
About
The most interesting thing about Prester John is that my narrator genuinely admires Laputa â sees his greatness clearly â and also believes he must be defeated. The novel holds both. The empire insider who can see the quality of those he governs against: this is what the didact cannot write. What contradictory recognition are you holding?
