«Andrea Victrix» is the dystopian novel by Llorenç Villalonga, published by Destino in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in the Turclub of Mallorca, an enclave in the year 2050, and shows a future dominated by consumption and the loss of humanist values. The story revolves around Andrea Victrix, a fascinating yet unsettling androgynous character, with agile dialogue, acid humour and mordant irony, in the wake of Brave New World and 1984.
The work won the Premi Josep Pla; the paperback edition from Destino was published in 1986.
For those seeking dystopias with social depth, irony and a critical portrait of consumerism.
Llorenç Villalonga i Pons was a Balearic writer and psychiatrist. While he progressed in his medicine studies, Villalonga traveled to France, Barcelona and Murcia. He gained experience in psychiatry during his stay in France.
