The Green God's Pavilion is a novel set in the Philippines in the early 20th century. Written by Mabel Wood Martin and published in 1920, the book tells the story of a group of American expatriates living in Manila and their interactions with the local Filipino population.The central character of the novel is a young American woman named Dorcas Brandt, who has recently arrived in the Philippines to join her husband, a government official. Dorcas is fascinated by the exotic culture and customs of the Philippines, and she quickly becomes involved with a group of local artists and intellectuals.As Dorcas becomes more deeply immersed in Filipino life, she begins to question her own values and assumptions about the world. She is particularly drawn to a mysterious figure known as the Green God, who is worshipped by the local people as a symbol of nature and fertility.As the novel progresses, Dorcas becomes increasingly involved in the political struggles of the Philippines, which is then a colony of the United States. She becomes a passionate advocate for Filipino independence, and she finds herself torn between her loyalty to her own country and her love for the people of the Philippines.The Green God's Pavilion is a complex and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of cultural identity, colonialism, and political activism. It is a vivid and evocative portrayal of life in the Philippines during a time of great social and political change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
