Satire. Begins as a Robinsonade, and then becomes a Gulliver tale with the hero visiting a land of virtuous chickens that had become corrupt and petty. Here the stress is on the differences between theory and practice. Finally, the chickens fly the narrator to the moon, where he finds a eutopia. The moon is described as a beautiful, verdant Arcadia. The Selenites are the souls of the virtuous from Earth. They are vegetarians. All are equal and have no need for government but revere their eldest as their prince. All souls are masculine.
