Originally published in 1981, 'El museo de cera' (The Wax Museum) is one of the seminal novels by Chilean writer Jorge Edwards. The story follows the Marquis of Villa Rica, an anachronistic figure who watches the collapse of his world during a revolution, while becoming obsessed with creating a wax museum to freeze a moment of his personal life marked by desire and betrayal. It is a sharp political allegory that explores themes of social decay, the clash between individual will and political order, and the complexities of eroticism.
