Thomson is a whimsical narrative written in the late 19th century. This book presents a satirical look at animal life through an anthropomorphic lens, depicting a Congress of Animals discussing their grievances against humanity and exploring various characters and their experiences. The work is not merely a collection of stories but an insightful commentary on society, government, and the human condition as reflected through animal behavior. At the start of the narrative, the animals, weary of mistreatment by humans, gather at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris for a grand assembly to voice their desires for freedom and equality. Various animals, including a lion, tiger, and dog, express their thoughts on coexistence with humans, suggesting everything from emigration to war. The opening portion is characterized by humorous and dramatic exchanges, providing insights into the animals’ perspectives on their struggles, political systems, and aspirations, setting the stage for further exploration of their lives and philosophies in the following chapters.
