{"product_id":"9781916293946","title":"Andrea Victrix","description":"\u003cp\u003eAndrea Victrix 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 Victrix, 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 Victrix merits a place amongst the greats of Europeandystopian fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41185464746136,"sku":"9781916293946","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/products\/9781916293946.jpg?v=1635015574","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781916293946","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
