The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (Doctor Dolittle… por Hugh Lofting
I know that a lot of this is due to the time period during which this was written, but I found it irritating how ethnocentric this book was. Doctor Dolittle was portrayed as so very smart and the native people were portrayed as so very stupid. The version I read was modified to remove offensive terms for Africans, so I can't even imagine how much worse the original was. Still, the story was okay I suppose. And again, it was published in 1922, so I guess its ethnocentric themes are not THAT surprising.… (más)
Definitely a product of its time
I know my dislike for this book mostly comes from when I read it. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had read it when I was in elementary school.
Details how the Doctor came to learn the languages of animals, and how he was called to Africa where he meets the rarest of all beasts, the marvelous two-headed pushmi-pullyu!
