Produktinformationen "The Napoleon of Notting Hill"
In a future London unchanged by time, governance has become a ceremonial farce. When Auberon Quin, a clerk with a penchant for humor, is randomly appointed king, he whimsically decrees a return to medieval pageantry, assigning elaborate costumes and heraldry to the city's boroughs. Most view this as a jest-except Adam Wayne, the earnest Provost of Notting Hill. Taking the king's proclamations to heart, Wayne defends his district's honor with fervor, rallying citizens to resist external encroachments. What begins as a mock revival of tradition escalates into a genuine conflict, challenging notions of authority, identity, and the power of individual conviction. G.K. Chesterton's debut novel is a satirical exploration of the interplay between humor and seriousness, tradition and progress. Through its imaginative narrative, the story invites readers to reflect on the significance of local pride and the unexpected consequences of taking ideas seriously.
