The Riddle of the Sands
Description
I HAVE read of men who, when forced by their calling to live for long periods in utter solitude-save for a few black faces-have made it a rule to dress regularly for dinner in order to maintain their self-respect and prevent a relapse into barbarism.
AI Woke Analysis
AI Rating: 1/10 - "The Riddle of the Sands" (1903) is a pioneering spy thriller emphasizing British imperialism, naval superiority, and anti-German paranoia ahead of WWI. Protagonists are elite white British men on a yachting adventure uncovering invasion plans. No progressive politics, social justice, identity politics, or diversity messaging; colonial attitudes (e.g., "black faces") reflect era's norms, prioritizing patriotic adventure storytelling over any inclusion themes.
