Pierre, a thirteen-year-old French peasant, finds a monkey in 1750, an animal then unknown to him. The naturalist Buffon protects the animal and studies it: his theories on human nature contradict the beliefs of the Church. When the monkey dies, Pierre must transport its skeleton to Paris, but the cargo disappears and the boy sets out to recover it.

Aimed at young readers interested in history, science and mystery adventures set in the eighteenth century.
