The novel is set in the early 19th century and is a satirical commentary on the social and political issues of the time.Sylvester Sound is a young man who is prone to sleepwalking. He lives with his mother in a small village and spends his days working as a clerk. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he is accused of a crime he did not commit. He is forced to flee the village and embark on a journey that takes him across England and Europe.Along the way, Sylvester encounters a host of colorful characters, including a group of radical political activists, a wealthy aristocrat, and a beautiful young woman. He also becomes embroiled in a series of dangerous and often hilarious situations, as he tries to clear his name and uncover the truth about the crime he is accused of.The novel is notable for its witty and satirical tone, as well as its vivid descriptions of life in early 19th-century England.
