Hermann the Irascible by Saki — Review

The short story “Hermann the Irascible” by British writer Saki (the original name Hector Hugh Munro) represents the satirical style of literature that reflects society at the beginning of the previous century.

The plot of the story is entirely built on hyperbole: women get the right to vote, but they have to choose people for various minor positions, so their life turns into a continuous process of voting.
