Krátky popis
An eccentric professor saves a London Zoo ape from a rocket
experiment in this dazzling classic by a trailblazing animal rights
activist, introduced by Sarah Hall. 'Pitch-perfect.' Ali Smith'So
original.' Hilary Mantel'Stunning.' Isabel Waidner'Her beastly,
risky best.' Eley WilliamsWhen my species has destroyed itself, we
may need yours to start it all again. In London Zoo, Professor
Darrylhyde is singing to the apes again.Outside their cage, he
watches the two animals, longing to observe the mating ritual of
this rare species. But Percy, inhibited by confinement and
melancholy, is repulsing Edwina's desirous advances. Soon, the
Professor's connection increases as he talks, croons, befriends -
so when a scientist arrives on a secret governmental mission to
launch Percy into space, he vows to secure his freedom.But when met
by society's indifference, he takes matters into his own hands . .
.A trailblazing animal rights campaigner, Brigid Brophy's
sensational 1953 novel is as provocative and philosophical seventy
years on. An electric moral fable, it is as much a blazingly
satirical reflection on homo sapiens as the non-human - on our
capacity for violence, red in tooth and claw, not only to other
species, but our own.
