Bag om The Sultan Of Sulu

""The Sultan of Sulu"" is a two-act play written by George Ade and originally published in 1903. The play is a satirical comedy that pokes fun at American imperialism and the colonial policies of the United States in the Philippines at the turn of the 20th century. The plot revolves around the fictional Sultan of Sulu, a small island nation that is annexed by the United States.

The play features a cast of colorful characters, including a bumbling American governor, a conniving British diplomat, and a host of wily Sulu natives. Through its clever humor and sharp social commentary, ""The Sultan of Sulu"" offers a biting critique of American imperialism and cultural hegemony, while also providing a hilarious and entertaining theatrical experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
