Description
Albert Vigoleis Thelen's "The Island of Second Sight" is a unique and humorous novel that defies easy summary. Its baroque beauty and vast vocabulary make it a linguistic masterpiece, while its satire and irony offer a scathing critique of the political climate before Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s. When Vigo/Vigoleis, the author's alter ego, and his multilingual wife Beatrice arrive on Majorca, they are met with unexpected challenges. Their initial struggles lead them to form an unlikely alliance with a local prostitute, who becomes their unlikely benefactor. As they navigate this bizarre new world, they must rely on their wits and resourcefulness to survive. With its vast array of characters, including indigenous and military figures, "The Island of Second Sight" is a gripping tale of survival and human connection.
