TO CORRECT THE THEOLOGICAL ERROR, GOD TRANSFORMS THE PENGUINS INTO HUMANS AND THEN A ALLEGORICAL RETROSPECTIVE ON THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY BEGINS. STRONGLY SATIRIZED ARE PREJUDICES, RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL INTOLERANCES, ISSUES OF SOCIAL CLASSES AND PRIVATE PROPERTY AS WELL AS HISTORICAL EVENTS WITH THE DOMINANT THEME BEING THE DREYFUS AFFAIR.
