Acheron
A paradoxical feminist utopia of the near future
The year is 2118. In the heart of a free Europe, transformed into an ecological and feminist fortress, unfolds the story of a woman who loses—and rediscovers—both her world and herself. In a landscape where people cultivate communities instead of states and plant trees instead of monuments, personal loss intertwines with the history of an entire continent.
Acheron is a visionary novel about endings and new beginnings, about the fragility of the world and the strength of community. With the poetics of Ursula K. Le Guin and the incisiveness of Aldous Huxley, the author crafts a picture of Europe after the collapse of the old order—a world born of pain, yet still longing for tenderness, freedom, and meaning.
What they've written about the book:
The author has succeeded not only in showing the contemporary dissatisfaction of the younger generation and its often revolutionary tendencies for solving problems, but also in seeing where it descends into ideological kitsch and moral narcissism. Alongside this, she has also created a utopian (yet at the same time literarily credible) world of the future.
