The Last Island: A Novel

The Last Island is a thought-provoking and timely allegory that sheds light on the dangers of authoritarianism and capitalism.

Written by the internationally best-selling author of Disquiet, this book vividly illustrates how these systems can harm both individuals and the environment.

The story follows a retired general who moves to a peaceful island and seeks to impose order upon it, but in doing so, becomes increasingly dictatorial.

The first to revolt against him are the seagulls, symbolizing the power of nature and resistance against oppression.

Originally written as a condemnation of an authoritarian regime, The Last Island has become even more relevant in today's political climate, foreshadowing recent protest movements and the fight against tyranny.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of standing up for what is right.
