Foulness

It is 1957 and a Russian jet flies over Foulness Island. The photograph it takes starts a chain reaction, alarming military intelligence and unsettling the Essex farming community that endures within its barbed-wire enclosure. The novel traces trajectories from Victorian Imperialism to the Cold War.

Este 1957 si un avion rusesc zboara peste Insula Foulness. Fotografia pe care o face declanseaza o reactie in lant, alarmand informatiile militare si nelinistind comunitatea agricola din Essex care dainuie in incinta sa de sarma ghimpata.
