In Evelyn Waugh's satirical novel, "Black Mischief," Oxford-educated Emperor Seth takes the throne of Azania, an African state rife with corruption and chaos. With the help of Minister of Modernization Basil Seal, he attempts to introduce Western civilization to his unruly subjects, but his plans quickly spiral into comedic misadventures, including homemade currency and a chaotic coronation. This timeless tale humorously explores themes of progress and cultural clashes, highlighting the absurdities faced in the pursuit of modernization.
