Four Beasts in One: The Homo-Cameleopard

Summary

In Four Beasts in One: The Homo-Cameleopard, Edgar Allan Poe presents a strange and surreal tale set in the ancient city of Antioch. The story follows the eccentric and tyrannical ruler, Antiochus Epiphanes, who embarks on a bizarre public procession dressed as a fantastical beast—a blend of human and giraffe. Poe's sharp satire exposes the absurdity of power, exploring themes of vanity, despotism, and the unpredictability of human behavior.

This audiobook, narrated by Marcus Aurelius Green, immerses you in Poe's vividly imagined world, where the line between reality and madness is all too thin.
