Cennet Başka Yerde

Flora Tristán is one of the founders of socialist feminism, she dedicated her life to gaining the fundamental rights of women and workers. In Flora's eyes, sexuality is a form of violence that men use to take revenge on women. While he was a stockbroker, Paul Gauguin fell in love with painting and went to Tahiti in search of a pure and primitive world that was not castrated by the Church and bourgeois life. In Gauguin's eyes, sexuality that is unrestricted and at the peak of pleasure is the source of creativity. Mario Vargas Llosa, one of the masters of Latin American literature, captures the common longing of Gauguin and his grandmother Flora, whom he has never seen, in Paradise Elsewhere, where he brings together these two opposing characters of the 19th century: A paradise where happiness is possible for human beings. With Flora, the reader is dragged into the wavy waters of poverty in Peru, crushing capitalism in London, and the slums of Paris; With Gauguin, into the wild waters of a sexuality unleashed and a brand new art. Llosa tells his readers about the hell of those who seek heaven.
