Book Overview
The Yahoo: A Satirical Rhapsody is a book written by William Watts in 1830. The book is a satirical work that parodies Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, specifically the part where Gulliver encounters the Yahoos. In Watts' version, the Yahoos are depicted as the ruling class of society, while the humans are the oppressed underclass. The book is a commentary on the social and political issues of the time, including the class divide and the struggle for equality. The story follows the protagonist, a human named Jack, as he navigates this upside-down world and tries to overthrow the Yahoo rulers. The book is written in a humorous and witty style, with clever wordplay and puns throughout. Overall, The Yahoo: A Satirical Rhapsody is a clever and entertaining satire that offers a unique perspective on the issues of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
