Peter Wilkins (The ^AWorld's Classics)

By Robert Paltock

Book Overview

Featuring an English castaway, an African villager, and a race of humans who have grown wings and evolved into a civilization, Peter Wilkins depicts the transformation of this winged race into a prosperous capitalist democracy. As a story of magic realism, a hybrid of the shipwreck tale, the fantasy, the spiritual autobiography, the sexual idyll, and the Enlightenment Utopia, this work vividly portrays the practical and moral consequences of colonization.
