Más información sobre el libro

Set in a nearly unchanged London in 1984, the novel explores a whimsical yet thought-provoking scenario where a local politician, Auberon Quin, declares himself king of Notting Hill. His eccentric leadership and the ensuing conflict challenge the mundane realities of life and governance. Through satire and vivid characters, Chesterton delves into themes of individuality, the absurdity of politics, and the importance of imagination in a conformist society. The narrative combines humor with a critique of modernity, creating a unique vision of a future London.
