Maggiori informazioni sul libro
"From the internationally bestselling author of Disquiet, a brilliant political allegory that vividly illustrates how capitalism and authoritarianism harm us and the environment. A retired General-the leader of the latest military takeover-moves to a peaceful island and decides to rid it of what he sees as its last remaining "anarchic" components. The island, described by its people as a utopia, the last peaceful resort for mankind, morphs into dystopia when the General, in the hope of bringing order to the island life, begins to act more and more like a dictator. The first ones to revolt against the General are the seagulls. Originally written in 2008 as a condemnation of the authoritarian Turkish regime, The Last Island has only grown more relevant, foreshadowing the events and aftermath of Istanbul's bloody Gezi Park/Taksim Square political protests of 2013, as well as the protest movements of our time"-- Provided by publisher
