Beskrivelse
From the internationally bestselling author of Disquiet comes a brilliant political allegory that vividly illustrates how capitalism and authoritarianism harm us and the environment.Having failed to hold onto power after an ironfisted first term, the former president moves to a secluded island and decides to rid it of what he sees as its 'anarchic' components. The island, described by its close-knit community as a utopia, the last peaceful resort for humankind, morphs into dystopia when the president, in the hope of bringing order to island life, begins to act more and more like a dictator. The first ones to revolt against him 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.
