The narrator, who resembles the author, had placed themselves in cryo-stasis in 1965 and reawakened 85 years later. They interact with the androgynous Andrea Víctrix, the Director of Pleasure, in a satirical exploration of contemporary issues such as gender, sexuality, consumerism, environmental disaster, and big business. The novel is both timely and prescient and deserves a place among the greats of European dystopian fiction. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 290 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 March 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: FUM D'ESTAMPA PRESS\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the dystopian novel \"Turclub,\" Andrea Víctrix paints a bleak picture of the future of Palma,Mallorca,which has been renamed 'Turclub' in the year 2050. The unnamed narrator,who bears a certain resemblance to the author,had voluntarily entered cryo-stasis in 1965,weary of modern civilization and morality. After waking up 85 years later,he finds himself with the physique of a 30-year-old.\u003cbr\u003eVillalonga skillfully establishes an intriguing interplay between the narrator and the eponymous,androgynous Andrea Víctrix,who is referred to as the Director of Pleasure. Through a satirical and sometimes self-ironic lens,the novel explores contemporary issues such as gender and sexuality,consumerism,environmental disaster,and the politics of big business. \"Turclub\" is both a reflection of its time and remarkably prescient,earning it a rightful place among the esteemed works of European dystopian fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 356g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 137 x 196 x 27 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781916293946\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Llorenc Villalonga","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44102448316666,"sku":"9781916293946","price":10.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/8cb4fa66a300f50b610e14ff2c361696.jpg?v=1623490416","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/andrea-victrix","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
