Produktbeschreibung

This second (1817) novel by the English satirist takes on the electoral system of the time, in a plot about a civilized yet silent orangutan elected Member of Parliament for the rotten-borough Onevote. The novel also serves as a scathing treatise on romanticism, primitivism, and the idea of the noble savage.
