The Modern Hero In The Kingdom Of Cathay: In The Year 90000 is a novel written by Benjamin Frere in 1791. The book is set in a distant future, where the protagonist, a modern hero, finds himself transported to the ancient and mysterious kingdom of Cathay. The hero is a man of science and reason, who is initially skeptical of the fantastical world he finds himself in. However, as he explores the kingdom and meets its inhabitants, he begins to embrace the magic and wonder of this new world.The book is a blend of science fiction and fantasy, with elements of adventure and romance. It is also a commentary on the Enlightenment era, in which it was written, and the clash between reason and superstition. The hero's journey is a metaphor for the journey of humanity towards progress and enlightenment.Frere's writing style is characterized by his use of vivid imagery and poetic language. He creates a rich and immersive world, full of fascinating characters and intricate details.
