520			_a"Kobo: A Story of the Russo-Japanese War" by Herbert Strang is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the Russo-Japanese War, the narrative introduces a young British correspondent named Bob Fawcett who becomes embroiled in the unfolding conflict and his interactions with various characters, including the brave Japanese and Chinese figures. The book not only explores the themes of war, courage, and cultural exchange but also paints a vivid portrait of early 20th-century Japan. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Bob Fawcett aboard the P. and O. liner "Sardinia", bound for Nagasaki. During the journey, the ship encounters a castaway, a one-eared Manchu who is rescued from the sea. The narrative quickly shifts to Bob's experiences upon arriving in Japan, where he becomes a witness to the country’s preparations for war, engages in conversations with various characters, and even saves a Japanese man from being attacked by the Manchu. This gripping introduction sets the stage for Bob’s journey, leading to his eventual involvement in the military efforts against Russia, highlighting the tensions and alliances of the time.
