About This Item
Paris: Baudry's European Library, 1835 8vo (21.5 cm), VIII, 498 pp. Cont. cloth, gilt-lettered title on the spine (binding slightly dusted and sunned, occasional foxing inside). In a delightful satire reminiscent of Swift's Gulliver's Travels, the esteemed American author James Fenimore Cooper (1789 - 1851) presents a rollicking tale featuring an Englishman, Sir John Goldencalf, and an American captain, Noah Poke. Together, they embark on a series of uproarious adventures to an Antarctic archipelago inhabited by the Monikins, a remarkably intelligent race of monkeys. Published in Paris during the same year as its first American edition, Cooper's witty narrative skillfully blends humor, social commentary, and imaginative storytelling, offering readers a whimsical journey into a world both familiar and fantastically absurd.
