| 520 | _a"The Ignoble Savages" by Evelyn E. Smith is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century, specifically in the 1950s. The story centers on the inhabitants of the planet Snaddra, who adopt a primitive lifestyle to appear more enticing to Earth anthropologists, which is a facade meant to ensure survival as their advanced culture faces extinction. The characters navigate issues of caste, societal roles, and deep emotional connections against the backdrop of a bizarre cultural transformation. The plot revolves around Skkiru, a young Snaddrath who has been cast as a beggar as part of the societal shift orchestrated by Bbulas, the high priest and self-appointed leader. Skkiru grapples with his feelings for Larhgan, the newly appointed high priestess, while contending with the absurdities of their new culture and the impending arrival of Earthmen. As the Earthmen engage in their anthropological studies, Skkiru encounters various challenges, including the recognition of their culture's artifice and his desire to prove his worth. Ultimately, the story presents a satirical exploration of identity, survival, and the nature of civilization, questioning what it means to be "civilized" versus "savage."
