Features: For contemporary readers, the world depicted in colonialist novels appears strange, lacking local characters. The colonizers and white adventurers' speculative and adventurous endeavors constitute most of the significant actions. It's their play, almost without exception. There is no narrative interest unless Europeans are involved or intervene.
