Typhon Or The Wars Between the Gods and Giants

More about the book

Set in 1704, this work is a comedic imitation inspired by the writings of Monsieur Scarron and another humorous figure who sought the favor of a lady's monkey. The author, Mandeville, aimed to surpass both by finding a subject that is neither a monkey nor fully rational, successfully achieving this balance. The text is presented in Old English, and readers should be aware that some pages may have faded or spotty print due to the age of the original work.
