{"product_id":"9781916293946","title":"Andrea Victrix by Llorenc Villalonga","description":"Andrea V?ctrix presents a dystopian vision of Palma, Mallorca, now named `Turclub', in the year 2050. Theunnamed narrator, who bears a certain resemblance to the author, had placed himself in voluntary cryo-stasisin 1965, fatigued by modern `civilization' and morality, only to reawaken 85 years later with the physique of a30-year old. Villalonga sets up an intriguing interplay between the narrator and the eponymous, androgynousAndrea V?ctrix, so-called Director of Pleasure, in a satirical, sometimes self-ironizing exploration of contemporaryissues such as gender and sexuality, consumerism, environmental disaster and the politics of big business.   Both of its time and startlingly prescient, Andrea V?ctrix merits a place amongst the greats of Europeandystopian fiction.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308960919925,"sku":"9781916293946","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916293946.jpg?v=1762809864","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781916293946","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
