Juan Francisco Ferré reinvents Jules Verne's classic model to build a narrative where the characters navigate a fragmented and chaotic world, in which the search for a place of one's own leads to extreme situations, unexpected transformations, and encounters with the monstrous. A literary GPS that blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is presented as an ironic homage to Jules Verne's famous novel, but it transcends a mere literary nod to become an exploration of global disorder. The characters that populate its pages try to fit into a world that seems to be crumbling around them, a setting where the absurd and the grotesque manifest naturally. Through their journeys, the reader witnesses a parade of aberrations, mutations, and unpredictable developments that question the limits of identity and normality. Ferré constructs a fiction where reality appears stranger than any invention, and where each destination reveals another layer of the underlying chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe fragmentation of the contemporary world and the loss of stable reference points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe journey as a metaphor for the search for identity in a hostile environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIrony and homage to the classics of adventure literature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe monstrous and the aberrant as a reflection of social contradictions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe constant mutation of individuals and societies in the face of chaos.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders interested in contemporary narrative that challenges genre conventions, followers of travel literature with a critical and experimental focus, and those who enjoy works that engage with the classics from an ironic and transgressive perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this book offers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAn original and provocative re-reading of the myth of traveling around the world.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA lucid and disenchanted look at the chaos of today's society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA literary experience that blends dark humor, social criticism, and narrative experimentation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe opportunity to explore a fictional universe where the real and the imaginary are confused.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Ferré Ruiz, Juan Francisco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Pálido Fuego\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: Spanish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY FICTION, TRAVEL LITERATURE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: NARRATIVE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePublication Date: March 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of pages: 238\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 366 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEditorial Review\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bold narrative proposal that combines literary erudition with a contemporary sensibility.
