The Future Future

Meer over het boek

A madcap story of female friendship, language, and power unfolds across time and space, from 1775 to the present, and from France to colonial America to the moon. Celine finds herself in a precarious situation in the eighteenth century, with an absent husband engrossed in foreign affairs and rumors swirling about her personal life. These false tales of her affairs and excesses tarnish her reputation, transforming her name into a symbol of scandal and decay. Set against a backdrop of decadence and moral rot, the narrative reveals a world of lavish parties, private salons, and the darker forces of colonialism and violence. As France approaches revolution, Celine and her friends—Marta, a strikingly stern figure, and the young Marie Antoinette—unite against the injustices of their time. They seek truth and beauty amidst the chaos wrought by men driven by power, political theory, and oppression. This inventive and humorous tale traverses continents and eras, blending historical and modern elements. Celine's quest to reclaim her identity and challenge the status quo is both a personal journey and a broader commentary on the fight for justice in a tumultuous world.
