Description
Self-made millionaire Victor wants to leave his mark before he dies. He has no family, no lover, so on his eightieth birthday he decides to create a lasting monument in the city that made his fortune. He will destroy the old market-place where he grew up amongst the street traders and beggars, and rebuild it in the shape of Arcadia: a modern utopia of glass and greenery at the heart of the metropolis (back cover).
