Summary "Kings in Exile" by Charles G. D. Roberts is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the themes of nature and the relationship between animals and humans through the lens of anthropomorphism. The central character appears to be a magnificent buffalo known as Last Bull, who represents the last of his kind in captivity, as well as a potential antagonist in a moose named Kaiser. The opening of the narrative introduces Last Bull and sets the stage for his experiences within a zoological park, where he grapples with his identity and the remnants of his wild past. The story delves into his interactions with other animals, particularly a newly introduced bull moose that ignites a rivalry. As the plot unfolds, themes of longing, confinement, and the clash between nature and civilization are brought to life, illustrated through Last Bull's melancholic existence and the impending encounter with the moose. The narrative immediately paints a vivid and poignant picture of the struggle for existence and the emotional depth of animal life within human confines, making it an engaging read for those interested in nature, wildlife, and literary reflections on the human condition.
