Im Land der Venus

The rich historical backdrop adds so much depth to the characters' obsessions. I wonder what drew Federico Andahazi to this particular era and setting.

The book delves into the ethics and dangers of scientific pursuit, which made me think about how far we've come and what we've left behind. Would love to hear others' thoughts.

The characters seem to embody both creative genius and obsessive fixation. I'm curious how the author balanced these themes through the story.
