«Inglaterra, Inglaterra» is Julian Barnes's satirical novel, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (320 pages, in Spanish).
Sir Jack Pitman, a tycoon convinced that the real England is merely a backdrop for tourists, promotes on the Isle of Wight a theme park condensing English myths and clichés such as the Tower of London, Stonehenge or Robin Hood. The Great Replica ends up becoming independent, and soon the copy proves truer than the original: a satire on authenticity, national identity and memory.
Volume 431 of Anagrama's Panorama de narrativas collection. Translation by Jaime Zulaika of the original England, England (1998).
For readers of contemporary literary fiction interested in social satire and the debate on the authentic versus the recreated.
Julian Patrick Barnes is an English essayist, novelist and short story writer.
