«El museo de cera» is the satirical novel by Jorge Edwards, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (189 pages, in Spanish).
The story centres on a supposed Marquis of Villa-Rica, a Frenchified Chilean aristocrat who clings to the past while his surroundings change with televisions and helicopters. The narration combines these universes in a delirious satire, akin to the anachronistic figures of a wax museum.
Published in 1988, it is number 112 in the Ave Fénix collection.
For readers of Chilean fiction and social satire, interested in the clash between tradition and modernity.
Jorge Edwards Valdés was a Chilean novelist, journalist and diplomat. He was the Chilean ambassador to France during the first Sebastián Piñera presidency.
