Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Discover the imaginary biography of the world's last dodo, an inexplicably brilliant bird who escapes the extermination of his species, learns several languages during his adventures, and makes his way to England in 1706. After struggling as a hack writer, he finally breaks into the ranks of London Wits, wins acclaim as a celebrity, and even launches an ill-fated affair with a smart and winsome young woman. His loyal friend and biographer, a 20-something lawyer named Nathaniel Bowser, urges him to write an epic poem to immortalize his defunct tribe, with results that are both triumphant and disastrous. Written entirely in the style of the period, The Life of Jeremy Dodo combines humor, adventures, romance, pathos, lively conversations, and a stirring conclusion that borders on the supernatural. It immerses you in the world of early 18th-century London, and its unlikely hero emerges as an eloquent tragicomic figure in the tradition of Don Quixote and Cyrano de Bergerac. In fact, "the great Fowle" could represent all those intelligent outsiders (are you one of them?) who struggle to succeed against the odds. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
