The man known as The Messenger.\nAn unsettling, powerful and strikingly-written dystopian fable about revolution, power and oppression - for readers of Agustina Bazterrica, Margaret Atwood, and I Who Have Never Known Men.\nÁngel Gurría-Quintana is a historian, journalist and literary translator from Spanish and Portuguese. He writes regularly for the books pages of the Financial Times. His translations include Other Carnivals: Short Stories from Brazil (Full Circle Editions, 2013) and The Return, by Dulce Maria Cardoso (Maclehose Press, 2016).","brand":"Headline Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50120248033568,"sku":"9781914495977","price":18.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781914495977.jpg?v=1781536761","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-architecture-of-fear-sandro-william-junqueira-9781914495977","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
