Calabar Angwantibo - in Literature

In Literature

The Calabar angwantibo, along with its close relative the potto, makes an appearance in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels. Stephen Maturin acquires a Calabar angwantibo on his travels and becomes 'absurdly attached' to it.

The search for an angwantibo is also a minor focus of Gerald Durrell's first book, The Overloaded Ark.

Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    First literature came to refer only to itself, the literary theory.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.
    Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
