«Anglaterra, Anglaterra» is the satirical novel by Julian Barnes, published by Proa in hardcover (320 pages, in Catalan).
An eccentric tycoon decides to build a huge theme park on the Isle of Wight bringing together everything typically English, from Buckingham Palace to the cliffs of Dover, in order to offer an 'authentic' experience of England. The project, however, ends up rivaling the real England. Barnes sharpens his satire against mass tourism and the idea of national culture.
Catalan edition published in 1999 in the A tot vent collection. The work was a finalist for the Booker Prize in 1998.
For readers of Catalan who enjoy social satire and contemporary literary fiction.
