More about the book

The narrative features Sir Oran Haut-ton, a cultured ourang-outang who becomes an unexpected Member of Parliament for the borough of Onevote. His journey through London society satirizes human behavior and political absurdities. Thomas Love Peacock, known for his wit and philosophical discussions, explores themes of civilization and mimicry in this second novel. Originally published in 1817, it reflects Peacock's unique style and social commentary, making it a noteworthy addition to classic literature.
