Description:F. Anstey's "The Brass Bottle" is a delightful blend of fantasy and social commentary, woven with a rich tapestry of humor and satire. The novel tells the story of a commonplace Englishman whose life is turned upside down after discovering a brass bottle that contains a mischievous genie. Anstey employs a light-hearted narrative style, drawing upon elements of absurdism and Victorian social mores, which provides a mirror reflecting the era's class struggles and the juxtaposition of the mundane with the magical. The book is set against the backdrop of late 19th-century Britain, a period ripe for exploration of the tensions between modernity and tradition. F.
